21. Abortion politics doesn't work in Illinois.

If a Republican wants to mount a serious statewide challenge (we have no state-wide elected GOP officials today) he has to be pro-choice.

The last three GOP governors here were all pro-choice.

In the 1990s the GOP knuckledraggers thought they could play politics like we lived in Alabama, and they introduced crap legislation like that.

They were rewarded with permanent minority status.

The present "strategy" probably didn't save a single seat.
