It worked in this state, to an extent, CP. The prime measure for defense of life at all stages of life was resoundingly defeated--not just on the basis of women's rights, but also how it interacted with all matters of healthcare.
Republicans mostly continue to have their hold in the state, but some of the biggest proponents of the measure were ousted.
I'm watching Chris Matthews, it's awesome. In response to the IL governors race he literally said, disgustedly, "unbelievable". :lamo
Perhaps it's just me, but I found Illinois to be even more suprising to go Republican. With Illinois, Michigan, and Ohio in Rep hands, makes for an interesting times looking ahead.
Looks like the Republicans could have as many as 34 governorships after this. Plus they'll probably take Kentucky next year. Kind of incredible considering most had them losing seats.

You saying the one who threatens to nuke but doesn't is worst than the one who threatens and drops the nuke.
Thank God... He is one of the most slimey politicians of our time.
I hope that will be wiped out as well, but then again I care more about people than votes!
I screwed up - Rauner won in ILLINOIS! I'll do penance for that mistake! :mrgreen:
I don't live in bankrupt California.....You mean Harvard educated Al Franken, widely considered one of the most serious members of congress among his peers?
Wait, let me guess, you kept electing The Gipper? Credibility gone. Or maybe you were just a big fan of the Terminator. Then you still totally have your credibility.
You in Tennessee Digsbe?
That would be McConnell from last decade on legislation though you've developed a one-way mind with your Reform .
Not like the future felon Scott .
An eye-for-an-eye.
