“Rauner is pro-choice and vaccinates on gay marriage”
I know that as a FReeper I’m supposed to hate Dillard to the exclusion of all else, but going into the primary it was clear that Brady wouldn’t be able to catch the liberal Rauner, so if I lived in IL I would have voted for the pro-life, pro-marriage Dillard, whom I am sure would have beaten Quinn this November, just as he would have beaten him in 2010, since Dillard would have held down Quinn’s margins in Chicagoland. (It speaks to the sad state of affairs in 2010 the IL GOP that suburban Combiner Republicans would rather have Quinn than Brady in the governorship, even though Quinn’s narrow (and questionable) election resulted in a Democrat gerrymander that cements large Democrat majorities in both houses of the state legislature and packed Republicans into very few confressional districts.)

Dillard was misrepresented throughout this campaign. Jil Tracy is a class act. The two would have turned things around in Illinois.
Illinois gets what it deserves.

I knew Brady would place third but I didn't think Dillard would get anywhere near Rauner. Apparently he did it with union help, no poll had him so close. Perhaps if I didn't think Rauner was going to win easily I may have backed Dillard. But you can at least argue that Dillard is worse (not on social issues but others, the unions prefer him for a reason).
They are both pieces of crap, pick your poison. I don't feel bad for voting for Brady. Absolutely disgusting election.
Who did you vote for, Phil?
