* As you already know, Gov. Pat Quinn called himself “Soy Boy” during his State of the State address this week.
* The Question: What other nicknames can you think of for Illinois candidates this year?
Keep it clean (unlike Patterson, who looked up “Soy Boy” in the Urban Dictionary), light and funny, please. No need for harshness before a three-day weekend.

Technically, according to the official transcript, the governor called himself:
“Soy Boy!”

Super Hero Pat Quinn, AKA “Inept Man”!
Comment by One of the 35 Friday, Jan 15, 10 @ 12:21 pm
Dan “can’t” Seals “the deal” - for 10th CD
Rickey “Like my yard signs on the Capitol lawn?” Hendon - for Lt. Governor
Andy “Gay Rumor Patrol” Martin - for GOP Senate
my personal favorite:
Sen. Michael Noland “dead meat”
Comment by siriusly Friday, Jan 15, 10 @ 12:24 pm
By no means am I implying any sort of threat there. I’m merely stating IMHO that Noland’s chances for re-election are growing slimmer by the day.

The gubernatorial candidates, a la Chris Berman:
Pat “The Bunny” Quinn
Jim “NOT GEORGE” Ryan
The others? Meh. Unfortunately for us, one of these jokers will Go. All. The. Way.

Dan “dontcha be commitin’ no crimes” Hynes!
BTW, I saw a commercial FOR Bob Schillerstrom which compared his name to a #@$# storm. As with former candidate John Schmidt, who thought “Schmidt happens” was a good slogan, I would counsel candidates to avoid the temptation to compare their name with #2.

One of Mr. Lectures CapFax commenters daily’s nicknames is hardly appropriate.
