One of Will County's most contentious races has been that of the battle between Plainfield Republican Dave Carlson and his former boss, Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow, a Joliet Democrat. Carlson has gone on the offensive, accusing Glasgow of courting the media; meanwhile, incumbent Glasgow is coming off big wins in the Drew Peterson and Christopher Vaughn murder trials.
