Aftermath
I've been down hard with a relapse of the flu or flu-like thing that I was beset with over the weekend. I noticed while perusing the aftermath of the election that the Republicans did rather well.

Then I heard that they won the governorship in Illinois.
Now having read that, I should have woken up immediately, but I didn't, and I can't.
I appear to be trapped in a coma or something and experiencing a bizarre hallucination...I'm kind of afraid.

And Maryland. And Massachusetts. And only MA was particularly close, at least as it currently stands. It's kinda wacky.

You need to really stress your current "reality" to make sure it's not just a nice dream. Quick, run out and check the condition of your car! Is it brand new, with no mechanical defects?

If this were anime, someone would pinch your cheek to prove to you that you aren't still dreaming.

I hold absolutely no hope that Rauner will be much different than the
preceding Governors of Illinois... I just hope he won't be indicted or
arrested before his term in office is over.

"...I just hope he won't be indicted or arrested before his term in office is over."
Let's not get carried away. Isn't that against the Illinois Constitution?

Pat Quinn was the first Illinois governor in 15 years who served out a term without being convicted (not just arrested or indicted). And voters booted him out. The incentives seem out of whack there.

They just didn't catch up with him in time, Pete.

I think that "staying out of jail" isn't a sufficient achievement to justify reelection. Voters were looking at the dismal financial shape of Illinois government, I suspect, and decided the Democrats couldn't cut it.
