I’ve read that Quinn may well lose.
If by some miracle we could rip Illinois out of the “blue wall” in 2016, a Republican could get elected POTUS.
I probably need to get back to my normal cynicism....
... to a Michael Bloomberg type "Republican" who is really a lifelong liberal Democrat that waltzed in and bought the GOP nomination.

Oh, don't worry... Illinois will be VERY "red" in 2016, and will continue to be "red" as long as we let the mainstream media define who we are, and you go along with it. As for me, I'm a true blue conservative and will NEVER be red.
>> a Republican could get elected POTUS. <<
Didn't we already try this theory in 2004, when RINOld Schwaztenegger was going to magically "deliver California to BUSH" if he was elected Governor? How'd that work out? Did any state run by a RINO vote for Bush? Maybe Tennessee... the rest of 'em... nope.
I think Quinn will lose, he makes us miss Blago.
But if IL votes GOP for President that would mean a 40 state Republican landslide nationwide, who the Governor is will have no baring on the state’s Presidential voting.
