GOP Wins Illinois Governors' Race: Obama's Campaigning For Pat Quinn Fails

NBC Chicago reports on Obama's biggest failure of the night:
Bruce Rauner’s money management skills showed through in a big way on Tuesday night as Illinois voters ousted Pat Quinn and chose the millionaire venture capitalist to shake up Springfield, NBC News projects.

The Winnetka native who spent $26 million of his own fortune to run for governor of Illinois, won the prize he set out to collect.

Rauner beat Pat Quinn by a margin of nearly 4 percent, based on unofficial numbers, to take over the governor’s mansion.



Even Obama's Illinois is sick of state income tax increases which Obama praised. Just a reminder, Obama campaigned for Pat Quinn.
