Gentlemen, behold! Before you is the very hand that's going to smack the crap out of Quinn if he doesn't get around to getting rid of the Blago appointees. So, for a generous contribution to my campaign fund, you can shake this hand afterwards.

First he says he wants a special election, then doesn't...then he wants a tax hike, then he doesn't...then he wants the U of I trustees to resign, then only the white ones...

"I ate a corn dog. It was a pretty good corn dog, at that too! It reminded me of the times when I first came to Springfield and attended the State Fair with my father. We had corn dogs. Gotta have mustard! Am I right guys? Good old yellow mustard, like French's, but then I'm trying to endorse French's mustard - no siree, I'm not that kind of guy."

"What I am is the kind of guy you can depend upon to know the differences between endorsing a mustard, and telling you a story about corn dogs, which I have eaten, and continue to eat during Illinois State Fairs."

"Do I eat corn dogs at the DuQuoin State Fair? You betcha! And I don't have to tell ya, I - yup, put mustard on those DuQuoin State Fair corn dogs too! The French's kind. That smooth yellowy, tangy, and crucial part of the condiment table, every corn dog needs."

"So you see, we're talking condiments."

COUNTY CHAIR: "Sure, first can you tell me who you are?"

Oswego Willy @1:35pm, you could have gone one better on his "nerdy" image (with apologies to Weird Al): "I was in AV club and glee club and even the chess team! Only question I ever thought was hard was do I like Kirk or do I like Picard?"

"I tell you what I see when I look out there. I see the undeveloped resources of Minnesota, Northern Wisconsin, and Michigan. I see a syndicated development consortium exploiting over a billion and a half dollars in forest products. I see a paper mill and if the strategic metals are there, a mining operation. A greenbelt between the condos on the lake and a waste management facility focusing on the newest rage in toxic waste, medical refuse. Infected bandages, body parts, IV tubing, contaminated glassware, entrails, syringes, fluids, blood, low grade radioactive waste all safely contained sunken in the lake and sealed for centuries. Now I ask you what do you see?"

So, it was either mayor of Whoville, I thought I had the looks to pull it off, or Governor of Illinois. I'll now list each reason I chose Governor, with all the flair of a burned out accountant.

Fellas, let's talk about 2010. On the one hand, you have Governor* Quinn, on the other hand... ok seriously, does it really matter what the other option is?
