My current preferences are for Kennedy (though he's a bit rough around the edges) or Biss (a bit young and raw, but I like the math-music background just because of personal connections). Whomever we chose aside from Pritzker, we're bound to split the opposition vote and hand it to JB anyway.

That's my sad but true prediction for this primary election.
