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?

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!

“Politics make strange bedfellows.”
Or was that “Politics make bedtime strange.”

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.

What, nobody’s heard of a two flat?

Didn’t realize the Rauners lived in the 55th.

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.

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!)
Comment by Linus 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?”
Comment by Yellow Dog Democrat Wednesday, Oct 29, 14 @ 3:12 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”.

Looks like my yard some elections. My wife and I vote in nearly every election and sometimes we cancel each other’s votes out.

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.
Comment by SAP Wednesday, Oct 29, 14 @ 4:25 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.

Amen.
Comment by Rich Miller Wednesday, Oct 29, 14 @ 5:13 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.

Could be worse, Royals Giants.

Roadrunner, what are you suggesting?

Catch Marty & Mel, afternoons 3 to 7

This is the only way to keep unwanted strangers from ringing the doorbell.

Or a Cubs / Cards household …
Comment by RNUG Wednesday, Oct 29, 14 @ 7:15 pm
Could be an IFT and IEA household.
