But will the Governor sign it?

It's just getting them all on the same page is like trying to herd cats.


I have little doubt Rauner will veto it. He's against anything that actually helps people.

What is your theory as to why people vote in governors like Rauner, Scott Walker, Rick Snyder, Matt Bevin (R-KY). It baffles my mind.

Nothing major really got accomplished under his watch in spite of major control of both houses of congress, and he wasn't very good at touting himself (kind of blah as a candidate). I think his major selling point was being scandal free (after arresting most of our recent past governors). Otherwise he was a good governor.

Rauner was just good at touting himself, could fund his own campaign, and had the backing of some major players (Rahm for one). Also people in Illinois just do really stupid things sometimes. He'll be a one term governor. Everyone hates him now, even the Republicans.

... if bragging on myself was a requirement. It would be too much like boasting, And you know. I don't care much for people who boast about themselves excessively either.

We just had a boring candidate versus a used car salesman (no offense to used car salesmen who I would never put on the same low level as Rauner).

Wifey came across as genuine and friendly. He had three or four other soft focus ads with ordinary folks praising him. They were really, really good ads, with lots and lots of airtime. Quinn couldn't come close to matching that.

... The Madison Avenue effect. That's what I would have to have. Madison Avenue.
