Though we've talked about it a lot this election, remember that the reason Illinois has a ridiculously early primary is so that the cold and the snow and sleet and the misery of winter will keep you and me away from the polls. The regulars, the patronage workers, the people whose jobs and livelihoods depend upon it WILL turn out.
In some races, there are miserable choices, let's admit that.
But in some there are really talented people.
Go vote.
