The "Republican" nominee for Governor of Illinois is just as liberal as his Democrat counterpart, and is "close personal friends" with Rahm Emanuel. IL House Speaker for life Mike Madigan (a Chicago machine pol) has unofficially endorsed RINO Rahm pal Rauner.

That being said, I probably won't bother voting for Chad Grimm, who is pro-life and pro-gun but otherwise pretty lousy on the issues (some conservative organization analyzed all three candidates on the ballot and determined all of them were at least "somewhat liberal" ideologically). Most likely I will cast a write-in vote for Mark Smith on Tuesday.

For all intents and purposes, Rauner and his donkey wife have told social conservatives to take a hike. If he loses, it’ll be because they did - despite the fact that Quinn is so colorless and incompetent (even by Illinois standards) almost any sentient being should’ve been able to beat him.

Ditto on everything you said except the part about Mark Smith. Is he registered as a "write in candidate", a necessity by Illinois law.

I just saw what you wrote. I should have known, too good to be true.
