Ah, Nancy Skinner, I had forgotten about her. One of the also rans in the crowded 2004 U.S. Senate primary. I think we had like 8 on the GOP side and 8 on the RAT side. Her GOP equivilent would have been Jonathan Wright, a solid conservative former state rep. who got like 2% of the primary vote.

Guess who's also back in the news from that Senate race? Blair Hull, the ultra liberal zillionaire that Obama destroyed by going through his divorce files. Hull has never supported a Republican in his life, but now he's endorsing "Republican" Bruce Rauner for Governor. Sadly some freepers will see that as a GOOD sign -- a "Republican" being touted by the likes of Hull, Rev. Meeks, and Mike Madigan:
