Just a little bit of a difference there... ;-) I watched it too. Bailey did much, much better than I anticipated. He made some flubs like saying "our" part of the state once; but did pretty well overall. For some reason, Pritzker's closing statement kept replaying on my phone and i had to shut it down to stop it. Don't know what happened with that. If it happened on others, that was a very clever move. Kind of spooky though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Flag Posted October 7, 2022 at 02:19 AM Author Share Posted October 7, 2022 at 02:19 AM I told a little lie, I watched some of it. I listened to all of it. But what I did watch bothered me. Tell me I didn't see prejudiced camera placement and selection. Whenever I saw both of them, JB was up close, Darren was off in the distance.

Could the up close be due to physics, or he’s just so large it appears he was closer? Maybe it was his gravitational pull on the camera? 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noreaster Posted October 7, 2022 at 03:56 AM Share Posted October 7, 2022 at 03:56 AM I only saw the last minute or so. Bailey looked very good for that part and Pritzker sounded like a politician. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two candidates also debated gun control in the wake of the Highland Park mass shooting. "I believe we ought to ban assault weapons and high capacity magazines in the state of Illinois," said Pritzker. "The Highland Park shooting, it shouldn't have happened because of the laws that are on the books but when Governor Pritzker doesn't follow or obey these laws, these things happen," Bailey accused. ,,," Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lou Posted October 7, 2022 at 12:19 PM Share Posted October 7, 2022 at 12:19 PM Some of the pundits stated that Bailey “won” the debate or at least came out looking better than JB. Unfortunately what maters most in IL is the D or R after their name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plinkermostly Posted October 7, 2022 at 07:54 PM Share Posted October 7, 2022 at 07:54 PM Voting always matters. Just in certain blue counties in certain blue states (or all of them) some votes just don't affect the outcome, mostly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mauserme Posted October 7, 2022 at 10:29 PM Share Posted October 7, 2022 at 10:29 PM We need to let Illinois Republicans know what is expected of them. A vote for Darren Bailey will do that. Unless we speak up they'll keep electing people like Jim Durkin as House Minority Leader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springfield shooter Posted October 8, 2022 at 01:50 AM Share Posted October 8, 2022 at 01:50 AM Anybody that thinks (for whatever reason) that voting isn't worth the trouble needs to take a walk through a national cemetery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosshogg Posted October 8, 2022 at 02:20 AM Share Posted October 8, 2022 at 02:20 AM I was there in person to see it. The irony of JB talking about wanting to ban "high capacity" magazines while there are 2 armed guards at the end of every aisle there to protect him, with those same "high capacity" magazines. That's in addition to the police officers with guns everywhere too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wishfully, RINOs are as endangered here as in Africa, but this particular RINO just won't go away. He's nothing but a more fiscally-conservative Democrat.

RandyP Posted October 9, 2022 at 10:40 PM Share Posted October 9, 2022 at 10:40 PM More and more with each passing year it is reinforced to me that the reason it is called a Gubernatorial election is that we keep electing goobers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springfield shooter Posted October 10, 2022 at 05:58 PM Share Posted October 10, 2022 at 05:58 PM I'm not seeing the JB commercials down here just so I can turn them off. And he certainly doesn't have electoral "coattails" downstate. Perhaps they aren't quite as confident as they'd like to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
