  8. If elected, I promise to purchase v-neck undershirts, but Rauner assured me this was the best look for campaignin’.

    Comment by Moe Berg Friday, Mar 16, 18 @ 10:20 am

  9. First of all, CONSERVATIVE needs to be hyphenated. Second, it should be hyphenated correctly: CONSER-VATIVE. That’s the old newspaper editor in me.

  25. How many boxes of tissues should I buy for y’all when Plummer wins a four-way primary by 40 points?

    I will have a large platter of crow available. But, small bites only please. We’re going to need enough to go around.

  26. His eyes are more narrow than his view points. Did he pick up the reefer in the last 6 years?

    Comment by 618 Friday, Mar 16, 18 @ 10:27 am

  27. What the state really needs is a limit on point sizes.

    Join me in supporting small point size candidates. The last thing we need is another big font lawmaker.

  33. Saw Plummer at an event recently. He certainly doesn’t come across as looking overweight. In fact, in seeing him in public, I was more struck by how tall he really is.

    Comment by Downstate Friday, Mar 16, 18 @ 10:29 am

  34. ===How many boxes of tissues should I buy for y’all when Plummer wins a four-way primary…===

    I want Plummer to win. I want it so bad.

    He went from LG, to Congress, to a freshman minority caucus member where he’ll languish… I want that purely for the comedy.

    Comment by Oswego Willy Friday, Mar 16, 18 @ 10:30 am

  57. Why does everyone make fun of this guy? Didn’t he win a contested LG primary as a very young man; come within a few votes of getting elected LG? Ok, so that photo won’t be on the cover of GQ anytime soon, but it’s not like most of the people in politics are that great looking.

    Just as the fox is ready to push Baby Jason knto an oven, Jason realizes his danger.

    “Hey you. You’re the fox. And I think you’re truing to eat me.”

  99. No one is saying that Plummer looks disabled, but you combine the bad photo, the poor graphics, the grammatical errors, we’re going to goof on that.

    Then there is his campaign bus being really short….
