With most of the votes counted in the Illinois 5th, Cook County Commissioner Mike Quigley holds what his campaign now calls a "virtually insurmountable" lead in the Democratic primary. The nomination is tantamount to victory in the heavily-Dem district.

With 85% of the precincts reporting as of 9 pm CST, here's how the vote stacks up:

Mike Quigley         10,390     22%
John Fritchey         8,079     17%
Sara Feigenholtz      7,984     17%

A release from the Quigley campaign, though short of declaring victory, points out that the candidate was outspent all of his opponents by a 5-to-1 margin, $3 million to $550,000.

Quigley will face the Republican nominee on April 7 before he can officially take Rahm Emanuel's (and Rod Blagojevich's) old seat.
