What are Pat Quinn's chances? Should he have ridden off into the sunset?

I think Quinn should have bowed out, but he sees a opportunity. I don't think 2014 is like 2010 (I.E. the 2nd Republican Revolution) and he thinks he can carry out a squeaker. It'll be close, but I think he'll win. Lisa Madigan could have swept the state clean.

Rauner may be up in the polls now, but I have two words for you: Bill Brady.

Larry Sabato and the Crystal Ball, who are extremely accurate in forecasting elections, even got this race wrong in 2010. Look at the map; Downstate literally tried with all their might against Quinn, but he was able to win with just Cook County. For God's sake he didn't even break 40% in Champaign County where there is U of I and a large liberal population. Or Peoria County. He barely won Rock Island County.

I think it will be a repeat of 2010; everyone calling for a Republican, but Quinn pulls through in November.

Remember... it's only early April...
