The last guy I really, really liked was Peter Fitzgerald. We got burned when the Combine burned him. I’m with you, but I fight with the Army I have. Where’s this ‘best of the best candidate(s)’?
Peter Fitzgerald was a class act through and through. What the Republican Party did to him in this state should've gotten each one of the centrist/rino bastards tarred, feathered and hung by their necks. (I don't think I'm exaggerating there either.)
If it weren't for Peter Fitzgerald, we'd have NEVER had Patrick Fitzgerald (no relation) appointed as the US Attorney for this area, and without him we'd likely still be under either the corrupt George Ryan or Rod Blagojevich regimes. He did much to clean up political corruption in this state (although there's still quite a bit) and we have Peter Fitzgerald to thank for appointing Patrick Fitzgerald (no relation.)

In my estimation: Rauner is OUT, Rutherford is OUT.
Brady had 8 years to prove himself, so that leaves Dillard. He may have voted for the illegals to obtain licenses, but he did not cast a vote that resulted in civil unions, homosexual marriage, & the indoctrination of every public school child with the Illinois Comprehensive Sex Education Act. (It is a domino effect)
Tom Cross, whose vote passed the homosexual marriage bill, is OUT as Illinois Treasurer.
