[NOTE: Due to a glitch with copyediting, we missed changing the reference to Sheila Simon to note that she was the incumbent lieutenant governor of Illinois. We regret the error, and are happy to update this post to reflect the facts. - Ed.]
Illinois Lieutenant Governor Sheila Simon (D), a former Southern Illinois University-Carbondale law professor, has conceded her race for Comptroller to the incumbent Republican, Judy Baar Topinka. At the state level, the vote in the Land of Lincoln appears to have been for keeping familiar names, with one notable exception. Secretary of State Jesse White (D) has handily won re-election, but it appears that Governor Pat Quinn (D) faces an insurmountable deficit in his race against Republican challenger, Bruce Rauner.

All readers are welcome to offer insightful, thoughtful comments on posts, other readers's comments, etc. This is manifestly not a post-modern blog; formal logic is the intellectual framework that we use for commentary. Sorry, if you can't handle structured/structural thought, you shouldn't be reading this blog. Ad hominem attacks will not be tolerated. Neither will spam ads. If you can't resist the urge to post a spam ad about how hot you and your naughty sorority sisters are (or how eager you are to meet "generous older gentlemen"), or what a great site you found for knockoff electronics on cheap, or much money I can save buying v1agra or C !al1s at a steep discount (a particularly offensive line of advertising), then please just go away. Violators will be blocked. Thank you!
