Democrats would be making a big mistake running Kennedy. It would be a pure tossup. They should nominate someone like Lipinski.
Its Illinois not West Virginia we don't need to run a pro life and anti SSM candidate to win. Rauner approval is worse than Christie, its going to be a Trump midterm, and IL partisanship give Democrats an edge. With Kennedy this race is Likely D until proven otherwise.
Rauner is even to the left of Lipinski on social issues. If Lipinski ran, then Rich Whitney or some Green would surely get double digits again. Is Rauner's approval rating really worse than Christie's?
