Caption contest!

Posted in:

* From a friend who is at this morning’s Democratic County Chairmen’s brunch. If you can’t read the t-shirts, they say “Kwame Raoul, Democrat for Illinois”…

Our previous caption contest winners should expect to gather at the Miller tent at about 2:30 today. Send me an e-mail for confirmation.

  7. “KR is OK!”

    I apologize for not being able to attend today, but as always thanks to Rich.

  8. Finally, a Democrat for Illinois!

    Comment by DanL60 Wednesday, Aug 14, 13 @ 11:03 am

  9. DanL60: I LOL’d at yours. Given the state of the state and that the Democrats have control, one could definitely make an argument that all the other democrats have been against Illinois. It may be refreshing to actually have one FOR Illinois. ;-)

  10. Shucks Willie, I had two people lined up for the campaign rally. ;-)

  12. Bleating Raoul.

    Comment by 47th Ward Wednesday, Aug 14, 13 @ 12:20 pm

  13. “I want my Kwame!”

    Seriously, it all depends on what he advocates on pensions…Brady and Murphy seem way to happy with their “We’re making progress” comments, however.

  14. Kwame Raoul Because I’m not Pat Quinn.

    Comment by Mason born Wednesday, Aug 14, 13 @ 12:46 pm

  15. Kwame Raoul - Because he can pull off bald.

    Comment by Montrose Wednesday, Aug 14, 13 @ 2:16 pm

  16. The Raoul Train, ‘the hippest trip in America’ is coming to your town. Get on board. Love. Peace. Raoul! Out!

    Comment by zatoichi Wednesday, Aug 14, 13 @ 2:43 pm

  17. Montrose, you raise an excellent point. Would this be the least hirsute set of Democratic candidates for governor in Illinois history?

    Comment by Soccermom Wednesday, Aug 14, 13 @ 3:42 pm

  18. A shirt like that says, “I’m formal, but I like to party”.

    Comment by Oswego Willy Wednesday, Aug 14, 13 @ 3:50 pm

  19. @ soccermom:

    Although correlation is not causation, the fact that our various jailed governors all had pretty good heads of hair suggests that maybe it’s time for a bald guy.

  20. Jason P, you raise an excellent point. I also am trying to figure out where Adlai Stevenson’s campaign would fit into this analysis; he apparently did not have a primary opponent, but he won against a GOP candidate with a very attractive hairstyle.

    Comment by Soccermom Wednesday, Aug 14, 13 @ 4:43 pm

  21. “For Illinois, People, it’s GOT to be Kwame Raoul–UNlike the Others, HE’S no fool–and in the Race against that other Power-riddled Duo, you can know ONE thing for certain: he’ll SURELY Out “Daoul!!!”
