Illinois is the worst-governed state in the nation. It has high unemployment, poor economic performance, billions in unfunded pension liabilities, billions in unpaid bills, failing schools, the worst credit rating in the country, and rampant corruption and cronyism. According to a recent Gallup poll, a whopping 50 percent of respondents would even choose to move out of state if they had the chance.

For these reasons, voters in The Prairie State have chosen to pass on re-electing Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn, or the “failure,” as Republican challenger Bruce Rauner pegged him on the campaign trail.

Instead, they’re taking a chance on Rauner, a multimillionaire who has an economic vision to rescue Illinois from its downward spiral, and who's pledged to root out “waste, fraud, and corruption” in the state in which four of the last nine governors have gone to prison.

By the way, Rauner won every county in Illinois,smoke by double digits, except Crook County, where he took almost 34%.

That’s unheard of for a Republican in this state. Rauner WHIPPED Quinn.
