I think you can just about shut the book on this one. Look at Brady's favorables -- they're surprisingly good: 56/35. Quinn is, of course, upside down: 43/53.

Well the Democrats deserve it for not nominating Hynes.

Well the Democrats deserve it for not nominating Hynes.

The real failure of Democrats is letting Brady go with the 56/35. There's no way someone that conservative should have those kinds of numbers in Illinois.

Except that this year has almost nothing to do with traditional conservative issues. It's all about the continued dysfunctioning fiscal state and abysmal jobs condition. Getting rid of Blago didn't help, so someone else is needed. Many voters are willing to trust a divided government will not go to excess on non-fiscal issues.

  It's like this is the anti-2002.
  In 2002 after a quarter century of uninterrupted GOP governors, Illinois was going to elect a Democrat--any Democrat-- as governor just to change things around.  We elected Rod Blagojevich who was a train wreck from day one.  Now things have shifted and we are willing to elect a Republican--any Republican--as governor to have a change.
  With all due respect--Pat Quinn is a well meaning guy, but is way over his head as Governor.  I remember the high hopes everybody had when he was sworn in to replace the disgraced Blagojevich.  Unfortunately the reality of governing Illinois has seemingly overwhelmed his abilities.
