ABC7
-- DIERSEN HEADLINE: News media provides outstanding coverage of 14th State Senate District Democrats electing Emil Jones III to fill the Emil Jones Jr. vacancy and to run against Republican Ray Wardingly.

SOUTHTOWN STAR
-- FROM THE ARTICLE: Committeemen cast their votes for the younger Jones over a candidate put up by state Rep. Monique Davis (D-Chicago) at a meeting in the back room of Ald. Carrie Austin's 34th Ward office on the South Side. Media were allowed to attend. Davis, whose House district overlaps with Jones' Senate district in Chicago's Beverly community, sparked a heated exchange with the Senate president about the way in which his son was appointed to replace him. At one point, Austin turned off the lights to interrupt Davis' interview with reporters.

MINNEAPOLIS STAR TRIBUNE
-- DIERSEN HEADLINE: Obama demonizes the "rich," but wait, Obama himself and many Democrats are "rich." In Illinois, many "rich" Democrats who support Obama have moved into DuPage County to take advantage of the prosperity and safety that Republicans created there. Obama would never demonize his supporters. So when he demonizes the "rich,'" he should make it clear that he is only demonizing Republicans who are "rich."
