You should have seen the look on the election judge's face when I asked for a Democratic ballot. She knows me and was all set to hand me the Republican ballot. I explained the above logic to her and she agreed I had a point. She commisserated on the split of the conservative vote willl likely put JBT at the top of the primary - "I just don't like that woman" was her final comment. Getting rid of Stroger will have as much effect on your tax bill in Cook County as putting Oberweis in the governor's seat, and Claypool has a much better chance.
We need to take a victory where we can get it. JBT will be a marginally better Governor than Blago... Claypool will be much better than a corrupt Stroger. Vote the way the majority of freepers want, and it's Stroger re-elected from a hospital bed and Blago for 4 more years in Springfield (although JBT will beat him in the general election).
