Here we go again
Way back in 2000, I had a serious crisis of conscience vis-a-vis the Presidential election. I didn't much care for George Bush, and I wasn't too enamored with Al Gore, either. In short, I didn't think either of them deserved my vote. So I did what any rebellious type would have done, which is vote for Ralph Nader. Oops. Anyway, now that I think about it, I probably could have voted for Al Gore. It didn't matter much anyway, because Bush ran away with Ohio.
But now, I have a similar problem. I feel a little sick at the idea of voting for Governor Rod Blagojevich, who is not really doing so hot at running the state and also not instilling much confidence in busting corruption.
However, at the same time, there's no way in hell I'm voting for Judy Baar Topinka. Her brilliant idea for settling Illinois' financial problems? Expand casino gambling! No thanks.
Not only that, Blagojevich and Topinka must have the worst hair in the history of politics. I guess it's probably a moot point because Blago is most likely going to win no matter what, so maybe I will write in a candidate for governor.
I think that is what I will do. Who should I make my write-in candidate for governor? And please, no Jedi Knights. I'm looking at you, Quigg and Gentile.

I wouldn't suggest a Jedi for Illinois Governor, they're too busy saving the galaxy to bother with our tiny burg.
You know who is not too busy? Quigg. He is about to get married, he'll need things to do afterwards...

I want to be governor. Anyone with bad shoes, hair or nails is to be hung!

G's right, I won't have anything to do after November. I think you should see how many people you can get to write me in.
