There is a Libertarian candidate, a young guy from Peoria. The Chicago Tribune has endorsed the Republican candidate which they almost always do. They did endorse Obama in 2008 and again this past election, though. The next debate (second of 3) is tomorrow. I'd like to see this young guy beat both the Democrat - our current governor and the Republican. That would bring big changes to Illinois. The governor is threatening tax increases between election day and the new year, but the Republican is so wealthy and connected that he's out of touch with the middle class.
