Kirk Dillard, He is not a billionaire and he understands how Illinois operates.

Comment by Boomer Friday, Oct 15, 21 @ 2:43 pm
Kirk Dillard because he is a DuPage guy.

Ken Griffin. Let’s just end it. One way or the other.

Comment by Sox Sadness Friday, Oct 15, 21 @ 2:46 pm
USDA John Lausch or Congressman Adam Kinzinger.
Both have worked hard to get where they are at and have served the country honorably.
They are also smart and very capable.

Dillard. He is the type of republican that I can support.

Comment by JS Mill Friday, Oct 15, 21 @ 2:47 pm
Mike Ditka - just to see him debate Bailey.

Comment by Saluki with a Job Friday, Oct 15, 21 @ 2:48 pm
Jeanne Ives. Just to see Darren Bailey’s reaction.

Comment by uialum Friday, Oct 15, 21 @ 2:52 pm
Tom Haine. Because he went to Princeton.

Turn the clock back to what last worked in a Repub led state…

I’d like to turn the clock back to what last worked in a Repub led state.

Blago… What, too soon?

The Dillard thought is interesting, like a nod to the old ways.

So, because of that alone, Dillard.

Comment by Oswego Willy Friday, Oct 15, 21 @ 3:16 pm
Dillard, because if the last two occupants of the mansion have shown us anything, it’s that Governor isn’t an entry-level position.

Comment by Rooting Interest Friday, Oct 15, 21 @ 3:22 pm
Scott Gryder because his eloquence makes him the Stacey Abrams of the GOP.

Comment by Springfield Spinner Friday, Oct 15, 21 @ 3:27 pm
The humble and honest man from Oswego : OW. The man is never in doubt and has opinions on every issue you can imagine. He’s fight the dangerous “Let’s Go Brandon ” movement sweeping the GOP and the nation.

Comment by Rock and Paper Friday, Oct 15, 21 @ 3:31 pm
Tom Demmer. He’s a modern day Edgar who would surround himself with people from both parties who would want to do the work for him and the state.

Comment by DaBlues Friday, Oct 15, 21 @ 3:34 pm
Not me, nope.

It’s an odd trolling.

For me, the declared crop… whew.

Comment by Oswego Willy Friday, Oct 15, 21 @ 3:36 pm
Scott Drury.

Because he’s a former federal prosecutor.

Comment by Ashland Adam Friday, Oct 15, 21 @ 3:39 pm
Dan Proft. Because someone needs to come in sixth in that primary.

Comment by Dance Band on the Titanic Friday, Oct 15, 21 @ 3:44 pm
Scott Gryder . He can out talk and out walk fitness icon JB Pritzker.

Comment by Progressive Caucus Friday, Oct 15, 21 @ 3:46 pm
Kirk Dillard, no question about it. A JB vs. Kinzinger match-up would be entertaining, but we’re all tired of entertainment in politics. It’s not even fun anymore. Dillard is the GOP’s only hope. But I can’t imagine him making it through a GOP primary without being bought by Ken Griffin. That would make him no better than JB.

“Dance Band on the Titanic” - you win.

Comment by Now I'm down in it. Friday, Oct 15, 21 @ 3:48 pm
Michael Madigan…the other one. Just because.

Comment by ;) Friday, Oct 15, 21 @ 3:51 pm
I say Scott Gryder. He can take on the Trump element of the GOP and the “Let’s Go Brandon movement” at stadiums.

Comment by Ghost of Louis Briatta Friday, Oct 15, 21 @ 3:57 pm
Roger Eddy because he knows how to work across the aisle to get things accomplished.

Jim Edgar

Rodney might as well. If he stays in his district under the proposed map he’s basically running statewide anyway.

Comment by Ron Burgundy Friday, Oct 15, 21 @ 4:21 pm
I say OW because he knows Illinois GOP politics . Also, he knows all the important people in Oswego .

Comment by Friends of Gail J. Friday, Oct 15, 21 @ 4:21 pm
Dillard. Could actually win a debate with Pritzker.

Comment by Bogey Golfer Friday, Oct 15, 21 @ 4:31 pm
Pate Phillip just see Bailey try and conservative him.
