Can't the GOP replace their candidate for a more viable one under the 'Torch Rule'?
Basically, it states that if your candidate is trailing in the polls, you can substitute a more viable one.
Sounds good to me.

They could but I don't see him making any headway. Too many Democrats in Chicago and upstate.

Of course. It should be done, and then let's hear what the Rats have to say. It was ok for them. Why not for the GOP?

The Torch Rule does not apply in IL, and I would think the IL Republican apparatus is too asleep to consider trying to replace Ryan. The apparatus would simply say, "Sorry, it can't be done. The Democrats win it all again."
