Okay yeah, Rauner is vulnerable but who the hell would run against him? If Durbin sticks to his word then the odds of him reelected go up. The only person I could see making this race competitive is Michelle Obama and I highly doubt she will run. This race is definitely winnable for Rauner.
Michelle Obama is the only person who could make the race "competitive"? I mean, it's one thing to say Rauner is favored, but saying that he'll most likely win in a landslide that Democrats will ignore is pretty silly.
