I just saw an ad paid for by "Irvin for Governor" that is accusing Sullivan of stolen valor. Now it's getting spicy!

He worked for a consulting firm that would go over to Afghanistan to point on a map and say "build a school here". The companies are all politically connected and it's just corporate welfare. But he got to wear some fatigues and take photos so he pretended he was GI Joe.

I think it's that Sullivan came out saying he led combat troops in Afghanistan when he was not in the military and just some suit working for a consulting firm. Seems like they've toned it back on his site, but he was clearly trying to portray himself as a combat vet.

I don't know about Irvin's record, but he isn't cosplaying as a vet from what I've seen.

Illinois at least seems to be taking the position of being very open for abortion. Talks of Chicago even using funds to help people who need to travel here. Clinics are also looking to hire because they’re expecting a surge of people from anti-choice states like Indiana to come here.

This is overdue anyway because out of state people coming to get abortions in Illinois has almost quadrupled since 2014.

Everything's still pointing in his direction. It's kinda tough to call a guy a RINO when he's out-raising the rest of the field something like 10:1 (and using that cash to call all of them RINOs).

Oh okay. I got a Bailey text message that said Irvin was a Democrat that said Trump sucked and I was like "Uh? Yeah? That would be what a Dem would say, why is this news?"

Clear that little mystery up!

I saw an "attack" ad against Bailey from the DGC talking about hours conservative he was and pro-gun and anti-choice that it was obvious the advertising equivalent of push polling to try to get all the R's to vote for the downstate guy.

And in 2004, Wisconsin’s primary wasn’t until April, and I still voted for Howard Dean even though he’d been out for months. Voters do weird poo poo, and names don’t get removed from ballots.

This is practically ancient history right now, but I assume that he was probably participating in Operation Chaos which was a Limbaugh lead charge to get Republicans to vote in the 2008 primary to keep the Obama/Clinton fight going.

I think Bailey has said before that this is what he was doing. A later tweet in that thread however pointed out that Project Chaos was started a month after the Illinois primary.

Now Bailey could claim that he was the inspiration for Limbaugh’s idea which would be on brand for someone like him.

A few questions I have are:
- if Bailey wins the primary, does Ken Griffin shift his support to him or hate Bailey out of spite (while Bailey continues to bring the Uhlein money)?
- if Irvin wins the primary, does Bailey go on to support him or is there bad enough water between them so Bailey turns his back on Irvin?

This certainly seems like a proxy battle so if Bailey wins Griffin won’t likely put support behind him, at least not to the level that he will with Irvin.

Really though there isn’t much chance of either winning. They have spend all the money in the world but Pritzker has high approval ratings where it matters. You can’t win the state with just downstate bullshit and all of these losers are trying to show who has filled himself with more bullshit from the hose.

Trying to run who is more of a wackjob campaign in a deep Blue state is just a suicidal maneuver.

It's amazing what they can do with computers these days.

Yea any Republican who wants to win, absolutely has to win over the Chicago Suburbs. The Chicagoland area has more than half of the voters in the state. Suburban republicans are not nearly as crazy as their downstate brothers.

Big LOL @ the Bailey ad that's clearly trying very hard to say Make Illinois Great Again without actually using those four words in that order. Seems like a bad plan; plenty of people that would be turned off by it are still going to notice, and I don't think the magic spell to activate the chuds works if you don't use the exact words.
