Overall I like Dillard, he DOES work across the aisle and at least gives opposing views consideration.<br /><br />Brucie IS shrill, hateful, and just plain stupid. I agree Quinn would take him in the general, but I don't even want to see B do well in a<br />republican primary.amber ladeirahttp://amberladeira.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2357567517901566907.post-72432438499274714632014-01-20T17:45:51.251-08:002014-01-20T17:45:51.251-08:00I realize that your proposal suggested that the st...I realize that your proposal suggested that the state GOP avoid slating candidates whose names begin with "R" was meant to be a joke. Small point here, but Rauner has three primary opponents; one of them is state treasurer Dan Rutherford.<br /><br />Trivia aside, I guess there's an outside chance that Rauner really could buy himself a primary victory. Pat Quinn may have his warts, but I still believe that he'd survive a head-to-head with Rauner. Big R has the bucks to finance a major ad blitz, but he's making a fool of himself. The ads I've seen feature a visceral attack on unions, teachers included. In my view anyway, he comes across the screen as hateful and shrill.<br /><br />Regarding your intention to select a GOP ballot for the primary, I understand your logic. There's nothing moderate about Bill Brady, who faced Quinn in 2010 --- especially in regard to "family values" issues. (There's another, more moderate, GOP pol named Pat Brady). But Kirk Dillard may be anti-choice as well, not sure though. Don't know about Rutherford.<br /><br />Hardwired to Reasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09215442048112659065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2357567517901566907.post-82006676983261890582014-01-14T10:46:32.928-08:002014-01-14T10:46:32.928-08:00Bruce, leave George alone!

Would-be gov Bruce Rauner is styling himself after George Washington, whose character and style FAR outclass anything Brucie is known to have felt, thought and accomplished.

Viz., he didn'a actually MEAN it, he was joking, etc., eerily reminiscent of the Romney gaffe, which was, like Rauner's, made to a small crowd of the "like-minded". Hmmn. Perhaps main-stream, sane Republicans should forbid their colleagues with surnames beginning with R from running for top toff...oh yes, "R"--as in run away now.amber ladeirahttp://amberladeira.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
