Trying to put to rest questions surrounding his family's struggling bank, Alexi Giannoulias has been making the media rounds today and saying that he expects the bank to fail in the near future.  He started by sitting down with the Sun-Times and Tribune editorial boards, both of which published news articles on his comments this afternoon (here and here).  In addition, he will take part in a one-on-one Chicago Tonight interview this evening on WTTW.  Also look for him to pop up on some network news broadcasts.  Meanwhile, Greg Hinz asks the big question: "Will it work?"

UPDATE (5:15 p.m.): Hinz also interviewed Giannoulias later in the day.  Here's his write-up.

UPDATE (3/4): The Tribune editorial board offers its take on their conversation with Giannoulias, as does the Sun-Times. And the video of Carol Marin's WTTW interview is now available.
