Durbin: Giannoulias can still win US Senate seat despite troubles at family's bank

CHICAGO (AP) — The White House says President Barack Obama intends to help Illinois Democrats who will be on the ballot in November.

White House spokesman Bill Burton said in a statement that Obama would help Democrats "up and down the ballot."

At the top of the ticket is Democrat Alexi Giannoulias (jeh-NOO'-lee-ehs) who is locked in a tight race for Obama's old Senate seat against Republican Mark Kirk.

U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin told reporters Friday he thinks Giannoulias can win despite the troubles at Giannoulias' family bank. Broadway Bank could fail in just days if it doesn't raise about $85 million under a deal with regulators.
