Which of these candidates, Rs or Ds, can get the Speaker to change his mind in 2010? (none) - Phineas J. Whoopee - Wednesday, Dec 23, 09 @ 2:14 pm: If Quinn does it right and reinforces in the voters minds that Hynes is running to keep the boys in charge-in charge, he should win by 15 to 20%. In the abbreviated crunch that will begin in about a week, I can’t see a Republican gaining enough name recognition and notoriety to overtake Ryan. Ryan should win by 7% - LouisXIV - Wednesday, Dec 23, 09 @ 2:38 pm: Hynes by 1 Ryan by 3 - DuPage Dave - Wednesday, Dec 23, 09 @ 2:39 pm: Quinn will win by 6 points over Hynes. I wish it were otherwise. Ryan will win by 2 points over the crowded field. Question: Is there any Republican less capable of beating Quinn than Ryan? He’s got name recognition but lots and lots of negatives, plus he’s been out of the game for quite a while. I think any of the other Repugs would have a much better chance. Have a great Christmas, fellow CapFaxers!! - Pre - Wednesday, Dec 23, 09 @ 2:49 pm: Hynes 52.5% Quinn 46.5% Ryan 33% Dillard 29% Brady 17% McKenna 14% Other 7% Do we get a prize?
