IL-Gov. 2018 Megathread

[Holmes]

Considering that it's Illinois though, even a small sum of money would lead to a high return on investment, especially compared to those states. So it wouldn't require a lot of money either way.

This race is going to be hell, 18 months of constant ads, big money, charges of corruption on both sides, most expensive race ever, yay.

Probably. Rauner must be super loaded to spend millions upon millions on a race he'll either lose or, in a fluke, barely hang on. I can't imagine having so much money.

[Holmes]

Dunno what's more delusional, Democrats who thought Lincoln coukd survive in 2010 or Republicans who think Rauner will survive an election in Illinois with Trump at 35% approvals.

Holy sh*t. Rauner only leading Ives by 6 points in Kane county. http://electionresults.countyofkane.org/Contests.aspx?Id=19&P=78

Rauner's supposed to do best in Chicago + suburbs right?

The AG primary map on the Dem side could end up looking really pretty.

[Holmes]

Yikes

[Holmes]

ing Bliss come on. Stage some comeback...

How?

[Holmes]

D AG primary map not turning out as pretty as I had hoped. We want more colors!

[Holmes]

God this is shaping up to be a bad night. Pritzker is 99% likely to be the Democratic nominee, IL-3 has Lipinski leading, and Ives has a chance at getting nominated. Excuse me while I go vomit and cry.

Really? I'm having fun. I think I just missed watching returns.
