Illinois Squeakers

Wacky Illinois Results

The Illinois governor's race looks like it's headed to a recount in BOTH parties.

The Democratic side is a two way race. Semi-incumbent Pat Quinn, the guy who took over from the infamous Rod Blagojevich, has a tiny lead over challenger Dan Hynes.

But where things are really interesting is on the Republican side. As I write here are the numbers:
Governor - GOP Primary
Illinois - 11118 of 11215 Precincts Reporting - 99%

Brady , Bill 154,646 (20.3%)
Dillard , Kirk 154,143 (20.2%)
McKenna , Andy 146,614 (19.3%)
Ryan , Jim 129,686 (17.0%)
Andrzejewski , Adam 109,954 (14.4)%
Proft , Dan 58,861 (8%)
Schillerstrom , Bob 7,343 (1%)

Three guys within one percent, and the top FIVE (!) all within six percent.

More thoughts on this at the Register.
