5. Well you can partially thank your former Governor for being a crook

He was the first Dem governor in 30 years or something and he blew it and hurt Quinn.

6. This is genuinely shocking

So far, the night has gone about as expected and predicted.

But Quinn losing?

Never would've thought. Never.

8. they have been neck and neck and the tv ads were UGLY

[Prism]

13. That bad?

I'd been under the impression Quinn wasn't in any serious danger. But I relocated to California a year ago, so I haven't seen any of the ads.

Illinois elected a tea party governor? I cannot fathom that. Kirk, sure. He's one of those illusory moderate Republicans who can squeak through. But a tea party type as governor?

Like I said, shocking.

14. He's outperforming every poll in the last month or so.

And could still pull it out. I think that a handful of Cook Co. is still out.

[Prism]

15. I didn't even realize Quinn was behind in polls.

I've been away for too long.

[FBaggins]

17. Yep. Down 4-6% in all the big ones.

Mason-Dixon, PPP, the Trib.

He's definitely outperforming expectations... but it's going to be a close one.

7. It's looking similarly for Maine. :^(
