He's pro-choice and while not all-in for gay marriage, is okay with civil unions. In other words, he's not a "real" republican. Her mindset is what got Blago elected.
He is a crook and I have to give the Chicago Tribune credit. They ran an article on the sleaze. Shot down his aw-shucks $18 watch and provided decent detail about GCTR and how it screwed Detroit. And just like so many others (Romney), it wasn't Rauner. It was someone else in the company and BTW, we were "out of the day to day" by then.
Even Sweeney of the Rockford paper reminded folks Rauner is mega-rich and just putting on an act in his ads. If the folks in So IL think they are getting crumbs in today's environment, they'll have no crumbs if Rauner gets in. Which I just don't see happening.
I did not cross over - I too got calls to vote for Dillard. I dislike him, he is part of the group that continually runs for offices in IL. Tops on my list was voting for a dem for sheriff who could beat the boy-mayor's (morrissey) pick for county sheriff. And to keep the two pukes-running-as-dems from winning that primary. BTW, both pukes-running-as-dems got their a$$ kicked.
