Yeah, both candidates are atrocious. I'd definitely be voting third-party here.

There are two third party candidates. One is a far right Trumpist and the other is a libertarian who didn't pay his child support and might be a wife beater, so have fun with that...lol.

I'd be solidly on the write-in train here. Hillary Clinton for Illinois governor in 2018! Smiley

Yeah, Sam McCann invoked Trump several times in the debate and is running where Jeanne Ives left off. And the Libertarian, Kash Jackson, is a shady figure as you mentioned (in a race full of shady figures).

I'm voting early today and trying to decide between holding my nose and voting for Pritzker (and rationalizing it as a vote for Lt Governor Juliana Stratton since she'll probably end up as Governor once Pritzker gets caught doing something) or writing-in Michelle Obama

personally, I'm voting for the far-right Trumpist -- if he breaks 5%, as polls suggest he might, the "Conservative Party" will automatically get a ballot line in every election for the next four years, hopefully consigning the IL GOP to even deeper irrelevance

Rauner is personally keeping the IL GOP alive through his funds, so it makes me wonder what will happen to them after November

Almost every race in this state is like this, it seems. Even the McLean County Clerk race is playing out like this:

Sam McCann is airing commercials on TV, but a Rauner-linked group is also airing ads against him: http://www.pjstar.com/news/20181003/conservative-party-gubernatorial-candidate-sam-mccann-launches-tv-ad?template=ampart

Pro-Rauner groups are spending money on this race still? Talk about setting money on fire.

Hillary Clinton has been in the state campaigning for Pritzker, for some reason. He certainly doesn't need the help and there are other Democratic gubernatorial candidates in blue states that could use her help more (like Ben Jealous and Jay Gonzalez): http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-met-hillary-clinton-campaigning-for-pritzker-20180930-story.html

How cute. Thinking Hillary cares more about the party than herself.

Because Hillary gets so much for herself by campaigning for J.B. Pritzker? Roll Eyes

The Tribune has been acting as a far-left rag for the last few years.

How is endorsing Rauner for reelection acting as a far-left rag? Am I missing something?
