Bizarro Kanyon posted:But it is always important to remember that there were as many Trump voters in that area as in the downstate. While independents trend D, a shift with them (and lack of enthusiasm from Ds) opened the door to Rauner but it would take a major shift to get them to support Bailey I think. Yeah that's the general theory, and why JB tossed some coins to help prop Bailey up. Bailey doesn't have much of a shot of pulling off the Rauner coalition. Hell Rauner could only pull off the Rauner coalition once.

Got texted a stupidly obvious Bailey push poll last night. It was hilarious. "How would your opinion of Pritzker change if each of the following were true?" <List of things like 'wants arsonists released without bail' and 'gave covid money to blm, an evil organization'> "How would your opinion of Bailey change if each of the following were true?" <'Endorsed by police union', 'tough on crime'>

Jim Dey would take the comparison as a compliment. He's the local rag's resident right-wing curmudgeon and never misses a chance to try and make hay from a 'dems in disarray' situation, and if one doesn't exist he'll make one.

A couple state Rs have called him out but pretty much silence from the ILGOP. Bailey said he was taken out of context and then said that his Highland Park comments were taken out of context too.

Lol Irvin really would have been a smarter pick for the Rs in hindsight. The Illinois Democrats seem more competent and ruthless than most. Hard to know whether they had that 2017 post before funneling money into his campaign or found it after but the effect is the same.

pasaluki posted:Lol Irvin really would have been a smarter pick for the Rs in hindsight. Illinois Dems have to cut their teeth on poo poo like Challenge Season and learn the ins and outs of how to screw their fellow candidates before they're even allowed on the ballot. Precinct committeepeople have actual power in Illinois and even those races can get cutthroat in Cook County. And if you want to succeed for long you have to learn exactly which lines to cross when and how to toe the letter of the law without getting nailed (though this is finally, mercifully changing). Politics is a contact sport in Illinois and some people get drat good at it, and a lot of those are people whose names you'll never know, because they work behind the scenes and don't get caught. Granted there's a lot of selfish idiots too, but they tend to weed themselves out eventually.

Not to be that dick, but actually *precinct* committee people are elected in every county outside of Cook, whereas in Cook Burbs they're elected on a Township level and by wards in the city.

That would explain the cutthroat nature, then. God Cook has so many exceptions to the rest of the state.
