The Governor’s race and Cook County Board Race are two of the most miserable contests I’ve ever seen.
Apparently, one candidate in the Governor’s race cannot point effectively to the commonly held notion amongst many insiders that indictments are coming down before the end of the year and perhaps even around election time and gain any serious traction. That doesn’t say much about her ability to lead the state. The week after the election I think I’ll host a forum to share all of the ways she could have won this race. Until then, it’s just too depressing. Even Quinn couldn’t get up the energy to be outraged until he heard it was okay to be outraged.
Stroger and Peraica could have a higher idiot quotient if Jack Roeser had been able to run himself, but that’s about it.
Leaving a ballot blank for a race is perfectly legitimate. If it makes the Southtown feel better perhaps he should have said he was going to write in Dan Lipinski to demonstrate the utter stupidity of this circus by pointing out another circus. I’d probably recommend it in at least two big races this cycle.
So when I’m not writing much on them, just go over to Rich’s.
You are to be commended for only giving up on two races.
why not write in george dunne? (i never even knew what a fine public servant he was until i heard all the eulogies.)
i mean, if we have to vote in support of ghost payrolling, why not vote for an actual ghost?
If you write in someone who is not an official write-in candidate, it invalidates your entire ballot.
