Question of the day
Wednesday, Oct 29, 2014 - Posted by Rich Miller * A friend snapped this pic and sent it to me earlier today…  Apparently, it’s one of those “mixed marriages.” For those of you who don’t know, freshman Rep. Marty Moylan (D-Des Plaines) is attempting to fend off hard-charging opponent Mel Thillens (R-Park Ridge) in the 55th House District. * The Question: Caption?

It’s a good thing we have two bedrooms, honey.

Still trying to have it all.

Politics stop at the bedrooms edge.

Damn, I’ve gotta get control of that split personality thing.

Hit the Thillens sign and win a $500 savings bond.

I support Rep. Marty Moylan, but I love the way Mel Thillens sings Coca Cola Cowboy!

Or was that “Politics make bedtime strange.”

Outstanding!

I am going to have a headache until the November 5.

Click on my corporate page and go directly to my campaign page. We’ll figure out the in-kind contribution reporting later:

As they said in Full Metal Jacket, I believe it represents the Dichotomy of man.
- Responsa - Wednesday, Oct 29, 14 @ 3:04 pm:
Covering the bases.

What, nobody’s heard of a two flat?
- Snucka - Wednesday, Oct 29, 14 @ 3:08 pm:
Didn’t realize the Rauners lived in the 55th.
- Yellow Dog Democrat - Wednesday, Oct 29, 14 @ 3:09 pm:
This homeowner is not as confused as Thillens, who now claims to support “common sense” gun control, gay
Marriage and be pro-choice.
Thillens has a B rating from the NRA.
- Linus - Wednesday, Oct 29, 14 @ 3:12 pm:
No one even notices these signs, given their proximity to the CROSS FRERICHS placards. Which some passersby might interpret as an election-day order from their precinct captain.
(BTW, I agree with TCB: Norseman’s “Mel Tillis” take on this is superb!)
- Yellow Dog Democrat - Wednesday, Oct 29, 14 @ 3:12 pm:
As for the sign:
Since Thillens now claims to agree with Moylan on everything except who should be speaker, which this election won’t change:
“Why bother?”
- Coffee Cup - Wednesday, Oct 29, 14 @ 3:15 pm:
The home owner at this location should be a politician himself. He knows how to attempt to be all things to all people while remaining non-committal. He has gone out on a limb with a “definite maybe”.

A house divided upon itself cannot stand

Looks like my yard some elections. My wife and I vote in nearly every election and sometimes we cancel each other’s votes out.
- Jeff Trigg - Wednesday, Oct 29, 14 @ 3:22 pm:
Any General Assembly race that has more than one candidate on the ballot deserves to be celebrated. Now if they would only stop discriminating against independents.

This’ll screw up the guys who steal signs.

You wanted something more ironic than my Quinn-Simon sign from 2010, so I give you this.
- corvax - Wednesday, Oct 29, 14 @ 5:10 pm:
‘Hard charging’?? The only charging Mel Thillens does is charging the taxpayers of Park Ridge duped into funding his most recent ridiculous Park District project. Apparently he’s not one of those lower tax repubs

It’s still easier than a Sox Cubs household.

===It’s still easier than a Sox Cubs household. ===
Amen.
- roadrunner - Wednesday, Oct 29, 14 @ 5:55 pm:
I believe there is more to this than just a matter of mixed political views in a marriage. A number of houses in the area have both Moylan and Thillens signs posted. I did not see anything like this when Moylan first ran for State Representative two years ago.
- Amalia - Wednesday, Oct 29, 14 @ 6:17 pm:
Could be worse, Royals Giants.
Game 7 baby!!!!
- Hacksaw Jim - Wednesday, Oct 29, 14 @ 6:19 pm:
Roadrunner, what are you suggesting?
- Precinct Captain - Wednesday, Oct 29, 14 @ 6:31 pm:
Catch Marty & Mel, afternoons 3 to 7
- 47th Ward - Wednesday, Oct 29, 14 @ 7:10 pm:
This is the only way to keep unwanted strangers from ringing the doorbell.
- RNUG - Wednesday, Oct 29, 14 @ 7:15 pm:
Or a Cubs / Cards household …
- one of three puppets - Wednesday, Oct 29, 14 @ 11:26 pm:
Could be an IFT and IEA household.
