Illinois

but I will take Pritzker. It is interesting that so many of the politicians I know and like in Illinois have already endorsed Pritzker. Many of the unions have endorsed him, too.

I don't like to see anyone endorsed by politicians and political organizations before the primary, but they must have their reasons. I can think of a couple of good reasons. For starters, there are too many candidates. We need to be sure the best one becomes the nominee. That is not easy when there are so many of them vying for the nomination. We will have repiggies cross over and vote for weaker candidates just to screw us up. Real Democrats need to know who the strongest contenders are. I hate open primaries!!!

Pritzker has been doing the work for quite a while. I have seen him at quite a few Democratic events over the last eighteen months or so. Visibility and electability are important when running against a scum ball like Rauner. He will do anything underhanded that he has to do.
