Closing arguments
Tuesday, Nov 8, 2022 - Posted by Rich Miller
* ABC 7…
…Republican challenger Darren Bailey raised concerns about the possibility of a vaccine mandate for school children, hoping the talking point would mobilize suburban moms.
Bailey held a rally with dozens of suburban women who had previously protested against mask and vaccine mandates imposed by Pritzker during the pandemic.
“Now his minions are looking to impose vaccine mandates on our children,” Bailey said. “No absolutely not. That’s right.
* WSIL…
“We’ve got to get the job done but we’re going to have to fight for it,” Pritzker said. […]
After accusing Bailey of wanting to eliminate the state’s minimum wage, Gov. Pritzker went on the attack.
“The school that he founded teaches kids… that women are inferior to men… that slave masters were good to their slaves,” Pritzker said. “This man shouldn’t be anywhere near the governor’s office.”
* Horrible video editing and an audience that’s clearly ignoring him. Heckuva job, Tommy…
* Retweeted by the candidate…
* Giannoulias with Durbin…
* Brady by himself at a polling site…
* Demmer at his desk…
* Frerichs with the governor…
* Mendoza also toured with the governor, but let’s do one more featuring Bigger, Jr….
* Rare public sighting…

DeVore looks like the unpopular kid who just got a Mr. Microphone for Christmas.

I look at all those state wide candidates and canāt help but wonder how things might have been different if Irvin wasnāt the hand picked candidate of Griffin.

I hate to admit it that I had no idea who Shannon Teresi is or what office she is running for until I googled her.

Mr. Bigger, Jr. is likely more well known than 2/3 of the ILGOP statewide slate.
It will be a bar bet, like it was 4 years agoā¦
āWithout looking, name the Illinois Republican Party statewide slate, Senate to Treasurerā
Candidate recruitment and fundamentally running a campaign designed to attract votersā¦ both of those truths lost to 56+% of the voting ILGOPā¦ the party is still dropping, itās not close to a bottom.

Seems like that is more her problem than yours.

Man I so wish Dan Brady would win. That dude would be a great SOS. And it’s be nice to have one Republican in office for the right reasons instead of someone who just uses it as a stepping stone.

** Rare public sighting **
I legit laughed out loud at this. Her complete and utter lack of a campaign is incredible. Though Demmer/Brady seemed to only do a little bit more than she did.

I also had never heard of Shannon Terisi till this post.
Is she running for something? s/ kinda

JB has minions? I want to see that movie.
- Allen - Tuesday, Nov 8, 22 @ 12:30 pm:
I would have voted for Dan Brady, except I am afraid the GOP would pressure him into going along with “The big lie.” And if he didn’t go along, the GOP would make sure he loses.

There are some cranky old men in a Chicago NW side subreddit that call any Democrat either a minion or a lickspittle lol.

Thank you Dick for bringing a little smile to this election. You’re definitely a bigger man than most of the candidates on the opposite side of the aisle.

They need to stage things a little better when Frerichs is in the group picture. Like a taller stage for the main group with a hole for Frerichs to stand in.
