Having Kornacki say at one point that his memory isn’t as good as it used to be is making me feel so much better about my life. Me too!

My home county of McHenry continues to embarrass me, but now on a national level.
The elections head is having “issues.” The guy has had that job for over a decade and he always manages to screw things up.
Yow. Didn’t think Raja would get his clock cleaned by Stratton. JB has some serious pull (and cash). FTR, I voted for Kelly.
Also surprised that Hynes beat Kaegi. Irizarry lost, which is a good thing.
“Mendoza’s choice finishing 3rd in a 3 person race”
Quigley also pulled an underwhelming 66% against token opposition in his primary. Not the most inspiring start to the mayoral race for either.
All those years of grubbing and begging for money for naught. Where does Raj go next? Lobbyists?
Pritzker big winner. Republicans shut out again I hope citizens get a break on campaign commercials the November election over
Great win for Stratton. Demi surprised me with a decisive victory in state house 13. I’m also glad Biss was able to pull it off in 9. Competitive dem primaries are a ton of fun - I missed this. We need more of it to keep our reps working hard.

Was an incredibly interesting night. While nationally many will talk about AIPAC and how they lost a couple of races tonight, the real story isn’t AIPAC. They got involved in races and lost, but those were tough races from the get-go. Plus, they crushed in Miller and did really well in Bean.
Biss was the frontrunner the moment Schakowsky said she wasn’t running. So many political careers started and ended waiting for her to go.
Conyears-Ervin’s loss had nothing to do with AIPAC, but more to do with the consistent representation LaShawn always gave, and the fact that folks know what the grift is with the Conyears family.
Bridget Gainer may be the most surprising loss of the night.
Kaegi’s loss is his reward for spending millions to claim an office and then increasing property taxes on middle-class and low-income people, and trying to say it wasn’t his fault after 8 years of being in office.

Agreed on the feed. I tried watching ‘GN but I couldn’t continue.

For republicans to nominate Bailey a second time, they must either really love democrats, or losing. Or both. But they sure don’t want to win.

Kinda frustrating listening to an out-of-stater cover our elections. “Urbana-Champaign” my eye.

“I tried watching ‘GN but I couldn’t continue.”
It’s a Republican station with the panel and talking points, going unchallenged. It was a short watch also, just watching live feeds and the blog.
Looking good for Stratton at this point.

Congratulations to Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton and her very capable team. Much respect. She will make an excellent US Senator.

ABC’s livestream has been very good as well. Jim Durkin is not holding back about Trump and Bailey

Here’s one I didnt see coming - Bridget Gainer has lost re election to the Cook County Board. It wasnt even close.

I’m surprised a sitting House Speaker will likely come in 3rd in the State Central Committee race.

He’s become complacent and that’s why I voted against this time around.
