Every article in mine was either an attack on Pritzker or praise for Darren Bailey.

I guess they must have different mastheads that they swap out to fit the locality where they're sending them. Mine had the name of this county, instead of "Chicago." But it had that same story about student test scores "plummeting" on the front page, and the rest of it was page after page of "Pritzker sucks."

I think the GOP knows what a pathetic joke their gubernatorial candidate is (courtesy of Trump, who endorsed him). If they thought he had anything of real value to offer, they'd be trying to sell him to the voters. The fact that they seem to be focused instead on trying to tear Pritzker down (and not even mentioning his opponent's name!) tells me they know that's all they have to work with.

I think old Darren Bailey bit off more than he could chew when he decided to go after the governorship. This is a blue state, after all. Maybe that's easy to forget down there in southern Illinois where everything is all red and Trumpy, but to get elected governor, you need to get votes from all over the state, not just the red, Trumpy parts.
