That's a pretty wacky poll. I am not sure how Biss's name on the ballot would depress Republican turnout. Their support is even from voters.

The 42nd ward (Gold coast, Streeterville, River North) voted for Rauner over Quinn, I'm sure they'd rather have him than Biss. Don't know about downstate though.

Hey thanks for the info effort post. I like Dr. Gill and I've voted for him a few times now, but it's probably time to let someone else take a stab at it.

Is this Legionnaires' problem going to gently caress Rauner so much he loses the primary? No, but a man can hope

Biss may not have made a big enough splash among respondents to activate snap reaction to vote against known Democrats. But I'm probably reading to much into it.

Does anyone know what the deal is with Dorothy Brown and the federal ruling? Why does she keep fighting it? I mean it doesn't seem like the judge is asking the county to do something much different from what the rest of the country is doing. I guess I don't understand why she's fighting it. Does the current system give her more power? Or is she just too incompetent to implement a modern system? I could see some podunk county fighting change but Cook County is a pretty big deal.

On one hand, it'll just be two candidates, but then that means you'll just see the same ad even more often instead of mixing it up between Biss, Kennedy, JB, Rauner, and Ives ads. I still laugh at Ives ads where she openly mocks Chicago. Good luck winning a statewide election mocking the largest city.

More Dem governor's nom race news. You can watch the last Dem governor candidate's debate on youtube. 1:22 (from end of Jan) Pritzker refused to be on March 5th's downstate-located debate because he's already agreed to six which has led to WCIA 3 (E. Central Illinois tv station) to cancel it. A Feb. 21st debate at UIS will be broadcast live on the radio but not on television. Pritzker will attend that one. This means no televised live debates outside of Chicago area for the first time in... a while. Not a great look for Pritzker.

Well, to me, but I don’t have to watch it regurgitated every 30 minutes.

Decided recently to start paying attention to local politics. I am in the 16th and the Dems didn't even put up a candidate against Kinzinger in 2016. Am I in a fully boned district?

I've tried contacting Kinzinger a few times about his policies and only ever gotten stock emails in response.

Crossing my fingers that we can get Bost out of IL-12 this year. The seat is usually held by a democrat, and he was one of the motherfuckers that refused to hold townhalls last year. "The amount of time that I have at home is minimal, I need to make sure that it's productive," Bost told the editorial board. "You know the cleansing that the Orientals used to do where you'd put one person out in front and 900 people yell at them? That's not what we need. We need to have meetings with people that are productive." Bobulus fucked around with this message at 00:07 on Feb 21, 2018 |

Hey, I'm in IL-12 too. I followed Bequette for a while, but the latest I've seen is that we'll be getting one of the much more centrists to run against Bost. Which is a shame because Bost is an rear end in a top hat, but he's a got stupid big money behind him from being such a good crony.

If you think commercials are bad, donate to a candidate one time 10 years ago and you'll never stop getting fundraising calls. I think I've gotten calls from the Democratic Party in Illinois, the DNC, Democratic Governors organization, Congressional election fund, Senate election fund, and even some PACs. This was all for giving like $50 to Obama's campaign 10 years ago. I get 3-4 calls a day and have a block list on my phone at like 100.
