I include myself when I use the term “Stupid Tuesday,” as there are several races, most notably the Democratic primary battle for the very important office of Cook County state’s attorney, where I don’t feel I’ve learned enough or seen the candidates in action enough to be sure of my vote.
And the shorter season also increases the importance of incumbency, money and endorsements by other politicians.
Hmm. The bipartisan support in the General Assembly for cutting six weeks out of the cycle starts to make a lot of sense, doesn’t it?
