They are all very good. SCAM and Poli-Sci made me LOL. But I vote for Train 111.
I'll be back with my family, my neighbors and all the registered voters in my household who don't really live there to vote for Train.

Poli Sci Geek. Cause its funny, true, and hasn't gotten many votes.
If none of them get 50% + 1, do we get to vote for the top two in a run-off?

I vote for Polisci Geek. He left out a line though "and don't send nobody nobody knows."
That being said, the best remains from Gobearrs yesterday. Consider this a write in for that one.

You lied. One of the finalists (Curmudgeon) has the word "Cubs" in it.
I favor unclesam for the strong Trinitarian reference. I thought I was reading from a hymnal during my Moment of Silence.

Train 111. As much as I love the photoshopped pic of The Hair, a good pledge needs to be timeless.

A tip of the hat to God’s Country, but my vote goes to Austin Mayor. One wonders if G-Rod will ever notice that the sign on the Skyway from Indiana does not mention him or the State of Illinois.

Personally Rich, I am not sure anyone had the perfect pledge, so I think you should have cherry picked from several to come up with the perfect pledge. You know, kinda like Glenn Poshard did with his thesis!

I would vote for mine (and then log in under other names and cast more votes for mine), but it didn't make the final cut. :(
Maybe I can get the governor to line out the finalists and replace them with mine. Now, if I can only come up with enough money for a big contribution...

Rich,
You forgot (*wink, wink*) to inform the electorate about the voting rules, which are as follows:
There is, effectively, only one choice -- as noted in the preferred selection, and that any vote cast otherwise is null and void, and automatically reverts to "unclesam."
That is how the voting is done in Illinois.
So, in a show of unity, I cast my vote for Train 111 (which now automatically reverts to "unclesam").

The Governor has lined out all of the pledges listed this morning and will be replacing them with his own pledge later today. The pledge is being developed by close advisers and anyone who objects will be demoted or fired. Money for development and dissemination of the new pledge will come from a new casino on Lake Michigan, which will be the world's largest floating casino. Additional revenues will be obtained by fining cars who park too long in the casino's lot and thereby prevent lot cleaning. The Governor will be calling the legislature to session at 11 pm Saturday night to approve the pledge and funding. (The House will be required to attend, Senate attendance will be optional.)

Although it's likely to have a shelf life of only a few years (we hope), I vote for Austin Mayor's pledge.
One thing I have discovered in the last three years, ever since I had to apply for unemployment for the first time: state offices and publications never let you forget for a moment who the governor is.
