What went wrong with Brady in IL? He was ahead for months, and sometimes by a large margin. It almost seemed certain he would win while Kirk was tied or even trailing. Kirk ended up winning by a margin slightly beyond where they could steal it but Brady fell short apparently. I thought after Blagojevich there was dissatisfaction with Quinn so people in IL wanted a change.

Independent candidate Scott Lee Cohen spent $6 million of his own money to run. He was Quinn's Lt Gov selection until some dirt came out on him and Quinn dumped him. Speculation is that Cohen's 4% of votes hurt Brady more than Quinn.

“I thought after Blagojevich there was dissatisfaction with Quinn so people in IL wanted a change.”

I think like in many places and with only two working parties (really only one), ‘the people’ don’t always know what they want, nor even why they want something (someone.) When someone doesn’t even know why they’re voting for someone, that is a huge problem in my book. We’ve got many people being led by their noses like this (as Harrah’s employees in NV.)
