24 Hours Until The Polls Close And Other Stories

All of the candidates are busy puddle-jumping across the state of Illinois, hoping to win your vote between in-flight meals. Bill Brady and Pat Quinn are desperate to show you they happen to be different. Everyone else is hoping you’re too drunk to notice you voted for them. At this point, they and I have... Read more »

Scott Lee Cohen's Job Fairs Shockingly Not Very Job Heavy

I was sort of wondering about this myself considering that I’d been to a few “Chicago job fairs” and never quite found anyone actually willing to hire me, blog notwithstanding. In fact, I’d never found anyone offering an actual job. So imagine my surprise when people on the radio were vomiting all over themselves about... Read more »

Bill Brady OK With Teaching Creationism?

Look, I can’t say for sure that he wants to lose this election, but I’m pretty sure Bill Brady isn’t focused on winning at this point. If winning were his strategy, he wouldn’t have gone out of his way to vomit this up into the public discourse. GOP gubernatorial hopeful Bill Brady said Tuesday he... Read more »

Is Scott Lee Cohen Ruining the Brady Party?

Look, I don’t pretend like I’m influential. I understand that you people have much better things to do than read my blog, but I still have to say, I’m taking a teensy-weensy bit of pride in the recent polls for governor because they’re making me believe I have a whole hell of a lot more...

Pat Quinn's Underwear Is In Springfield

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... Read more »

Sheila Simon Sure You're Not Paying Attention

Back in the day I ran for student council president and despite some clear indications that I was not going to win (such as the fact that I had glasses, braces, stringy hair and got dis-invited from the sixth grade ruling bitch’s birthday party) I insisted that I was going to win. It wasn’t until... Read more »

Brady Now Above 50 Despite Himself, Mark Kirk

In politics, the magic number is nearly always 50% or a 15 point margin, because it means no matter how badly you f*** up in the last month of the campaign, you’ve got enough of a lead over your opponent that it doesn’t matter. Leave it to Bill Brady to blow a lead like that... Read more »

Brady Still Inexplicably Leading Gubernatorial Field

I’m throwing away my vote for governor, as any good citizen would do when confronted with two truly undesirable choices, and casting a ballot of Scott Lee Cohen. It’s going to take a lot of convincing to get me to change my mind. After all, the man held job fairs and didn’t bother to hide... Read more »

Don't Call Him Rod. Call Him "B-Rod."

You had to know there was more interesting stuff than that life-sized Elvis in the Blagojevich storage locker in Arlington Heights. I mean, the man left a desk full of hairbrushes when he vacated the Capitol, there was no way boxes full of documents left in a storage locker untouched from the last decade weren’t... Read more »

Brady Still Sucks, But Apparently Not Enough

Looks like this race is close to being in the bag provided Bill Brady doesn’t totally f**k it up in the next ten weeks: The latest Rasmussen Reports statewide telephone survey of Likely Voters shows Brady picking up 48% support, his best showing to date, while Quinn earns 35% of the vote. Six percent (6%)... Read more »
