Sad

Well. If Newman doesn't pull it out there's always 2020 for sending Lipinski finally packing, I guess.

[Illiniwek]

Well. If Newman doesn't pull it out there's always 2020 for sending Lipinski finally packing, I guess.

Yeah I fully expect another challenge again in four years. But still so happy Dan pulled this one out!

[bilaps]

otoh, Pritzker's speech is interesting, says he's not going to the independents and republicans, no watered down general election

[Nyvin]

What this really shows is that Lipinski is NOT popular with Democrats, and that Rauner is NOT popular with Republicans.

Of course Lipinski will skate through easy re-election in November against Arthur Jones, but the future of IL-3 definitely doesn't have Dan in it.

Rauner definitely is getting squeezed by both sides,  which might make re-election a bit harder for him (it's already a difficult climb).   If he looses too much conservative support and R turnout shrugs in November he's going down.

[bilaps]

Rauner is gone in November, it's like the easiest thing to predict this far out of election day.

Can Newman run as an independent?

[Wisconsin SC Race 2019]

Can Newman run as an independent?

Will be a great way to hand the GOP the election. Nothing less from the alleged " St. Lady Bernie".

[136or142]

Can Newman run as an independent?

Will be a great way to hand the GOP the election. Nothing less from the alleged " St. Lady Bernie".

The Nazi is the Republican candidate in that district.

[KingSweden]

Can Newman run as an independent?

No. IL has sore loser laws.

[Landslide Lyndon]

Can Newman run as an independent?

No, there is a sore loser law in Illinois.

Didn't I tell you to go to sleep kid?
Don't you have to go to school tomorrow morning?

Sarah Dady has an interesting name. But does she have a chance in November?

Ugh, of course Lipinski won. Democrats have learned virtually nothing from 2016.

In other news, Democrats received significantly more votes than Republicans in IL-12. I realize primaries are not always predicative in that sense, but it's an encouraging sign for Democrats in the district.

If you read my pre-election post, then you would see that Dem's have historic strength in IL-12. Though there looks to be a greater than statewide swing to the dems from 2016 there, so thats good.

[CatoMinor]

Now the question is how much of Arthur Jones's  vote will be from True Leftists who can't stomach Lipinski?

[Holmes]

So it really is a month and a half until the next primary huh.

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

Now the question is how much of Arthur Jones's  vote will be from True Leftists who can't stomach Lipinski?

I would vote for Jones just for the lulz.  Thankfully I don't live in the district, and never will.

[Tender Branson]

I wouldn't completely rule out a defeat for Gov. Rauner today ...

My prediction: A very close race.

51% Rauner
49% Ives

Dems: 35% Pritzker, 31% Kennedy, 30% Biss, 4% Others

IL-03: 53% Newman, 47% Lipinski

The R-Gov prediction was pretty good, the others not so much.

[Oryxslayer]

It is 12hrs past poll closing time, and nobody, not even Wufric wants to call the D primary for IL-6. 260 votes seperate Mazeski and Casten, with a little under 100 precincts left.
