FILE - In this June 21, 2010 file photo, Illinois Democratic Senate candidate Alexi Giannoulias speaks before The Metropolitan Planning Council in Chicago. Two months ago, federal regulators had taken over his family's Chicago bank, Broadway Bank, which had grown insolvent because of bad loans and a bad economy. Stories about the bank lending money to criminals were resurrected, leading Republicans to start calling Giannoulias a 'mob banker.'  The Giannoulias-Kirk contest is one of the highest-profile Senate races in the country.  Illinois voters now find themselves with one candidate who puffed up his credentials, Mark Kirk, and one with an iffy banking record, both of them seeking a seat that former Gov. Rod Blagojevich is accused of trying to sell to the highest bidder.  (AP Photo/M. Spencer Green, File)AP - U.S. Senate candidate Alexi Giannoulias said Sunday that he won't be hurt politically by his subpoena to testify at the corruption trial of ousted Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, but his Republican opponent pounced at the chance to try to shift attention from his own troubles in the contentious race for President Barack Obama's old Senate seat.
