Fitzgerald wasn't incredibly popular or anything and his problems with the IL state GOP might've led to a small primary fight, but I still doubt he would've been the disaster that was Alan Keyes.

Np, but he would have pulled more counties than Keyes did.

Certainly not, but he'd have done better than Keyes did.

Why did the IL-GOP even consent to Keyes being the candidate in the first place?

No but he would have broke 40%. Wow, what a standard to live up to, IL GOP.

Their other choice was Jim Oberweis.

Better question is whether Ditka would have beaten Obama, to which I still say yes

I definitely thought so but even if he didn't, it would have been a close race.
