Quinn probably gets AG nod on name recognition alone, the other candidates haven't done much to get their names out there. I honestly can't recall a single one off hand here.

In the governor's race Kennedy has been flailing and seems a sure bet for third place, Biss has been making a run at it, but I don't think he can stand up to JB's fortune.

Not sure about Lipinsksy, but I wouldn't bet against him. Either way the seat is incredibly safe, I believe nearly half the district is within Chicago city limits.

I lived there for 10 years and did not like his actions on the board of regents. Imperial.
