The current Governor promised to run the state like a business ,that being said the state is in trouble now and will continue downward until the next Gubernatorial election. Why did Mr. Rauner win? Mr. Rauner won because Governor Quinn was so bad and the Libertarian Candidate was unknown. I voted for Chad Grimm(Chad Grimm State Representative, 92nd district, Illinois  Election Date: March 20, 2012) the Libertarian candidate primarily because the other two choices were so bad . Since the other two choices were so bad. I am not a Libertarian and by default I vote Democratic until Illinois decides to eliminate the need to declare a party when voting. The Federal government has been under the thumb of big money funded Legislators and loyal party members, this leaves the states in the breach many times because of it. We as a nation are still firmly entrenched in the pay to play system of politics and as long as the payees do what they are paid to do ( not by the voters), we the people will never have good or correct government. It is certainly easy to point fingers but harder to vote out of the box. Voters need to stop feeling helpless when they have the most powerful tool in their hands-their vote. Even if you have to declare a party you can still vote for the most unknown candidate. When voters break out of the rut of party line voting, politics will change for the better. At this time the political system has no fear of the voters and will continue to be fearless until the voters stand up and ignore the fodder presented as truth in the media.
