In case you didn't know - and I suspect you didn't - there was a gubernatorial debate today between Pat Quinn and Bill Brady at the Union League Club downtown. That's OK, I don't think anyone else other than people who were paid to cover the event actually attended. And if you weren't among those people, you didn't miss anything I can't quickly run down for you right now.
Pat Quinn thinks Bill Brady doesn't have a heart.
Bill Brady alleged that Pat Quinn doesn't have a brain and can't actually do math, so how would he know - a legitimate contention since Pat Quinn just spent $75 million Illinois doesn't actually have on extending a jobs program so that those hired under it will conveniently keep working through election day. Pat Quinn, on that note, has absolutely no idea how to actually pay for things he spends state money on.
Bill Brady alleged that Pat Quinn does lots of stuff in secret with unions.
Quinn says Bill Brady's promises are "pie in the sky," failed to notice the irony in calling himself the "Jobs Governor," and tried to put an end to rumors that he doesn't live in the Governor's Mansion by mentioning that he definitely leaves his underwear there, so he must live there.
NBC Chicago caught the magic moment on tape.
He refused to note whether those undies were, in fact, boxers or briefs. I, for one, feel far more comfortable and will sleep much better knowing that either Pat Quinn's underwear is definitely in the Governor's Mansion, or he's running around Chicago commando.

OMG! The thought of the Guv running around Commando is just too much!
Come to think about, that should be enough reason to vote against him. Funny Em! Excellent.
