LOCALLY, THE WINNER WAS...........
Boredom. Usually, even an Oberwiess will get about twice as many GOP primary voters out as democrats in an even numbered year. Throw a primary, instant elephant burial ground.
Yesterday, 51% of pulled ballots were GOP, 46% democrat. You could tell the GOP voters, because they pushed the ballot into the scanner with one hand. The other one they used to hold their noses.
Republicans didn't vote with their feet yesterday. They voted with their butts. The butts just remained in the chairs at home. And ya can't blame it on the weather because the democrats outvoted the Repubs in early voting.
Let's face it your Crazy Uncle and the Empty Suit, just didn't generate any flutter. It wasn't a GOTV masterpiece for either side, but the Repubs way underran their usual autopilot turnout.

Even though I am obviously biased as his Adams County Chair, I think Schock's win was impressive. 72% in a 3 person race is nothing to sneeze at. Whomever the Democrats put up against him will have his or hers hands full.

I attended the Sangamon Co. debate. He got his butt waxed and was still endorsed by the Sang. Co. Repub Party.
He's doing something right.

Schock was able to carry 72% in a three way GOP race while Durbin and Hare were lucky to carry 65% of the Dem. votes and they were un-opposed.
I guess there must be a lot of other people in the county that feel the same way about Hare and Durbin as I do!
