I've only listed those candidates who will surely lose their respective election.

But you included Hatch, Hassebrook, and Sheheen. Hell, even Abercrombie and Quinn aren't totally dead.

This map + Wikipedia served as a basis for my list.

Illinois is rated a tossup by every single rating firm included in the 2014 Gubernatorial Elections wikipedia article. And recent but consistent polling in Iowa will probably shift some of the ratings there.

In my estimation Illinois doesn't look like a toss-up:

Lepage should probably be on this poll as well.

Yeah...Quinn has a better chance of winning than LePage unless you are evaluating these races exclusively based on polls alone.

LePage is at an disadvantage temporarily, but his chances of winning aren't totally gone yet.

My intention when creating this poll was to find candidates who live in a fool's paradise, who overestimate themselves so hard that they've lost their grip on reality - like Wendy Davis or Scott Brown in the senatorial poll (unlike LePage).

Why is Wendy Davis living in a bubble?

The former is! Tongue

And the latter ... no, he doesn't have a chance of winning.

Might want to add David Ige and remove Neil Abercrombie in a updated version of the poll.

I wish polls could be revised afterwards. Sad
Especially here it would seem the thing to do.
