So in the comments Carl suggested a Condorcet poll. I love Condorcet polls but I don't have one handy. So how about this:

In the comments to this diary nominate a Lt Gov possibility and include a few sentences about why your nomination would make a good running mate for Quinn.

Then we can all vote 1 to 4 on how much we like that choice. (No zeros please)

Then we can take a narrowed down list and do a front page pick all you like poll.

Remember the only comments allowed are candidate nominations. You can reply to nominations, but comments to this diary that are not nominations may get deleted.

UPDATE 2: Carl's Condorcet poll is now up here: CONDORCET 30 Candidate poll - Vote here.

Update: Carl says that Condorcet polls can be created at this website.

BobB reminds us that you can't vote for your nominee. We'll just have to remember that the nomination counts as a vote. Don't worry the goal of this exercise is to create a list for Carl's Condorcet and PSB's approval polls

Bobb says Dan Hynes says he's out. So don't nominate him.

energetic, smart, networked with affluent liberal donors, makes Quinn look taller

Jewish if anybody besides Bernie Stone is concerned that Cohen withdrawing is a setback for the Jewish community.


I think she swore off higher office after her 2000 loss to Kirk (0.00 / 0)
Interesting choice, though.

She's on the State Central Committee (0.00 / 0)
will they pick one of their own?

[ Parent ]
Many on the state central committee (0.00 / 0)
hold elected office.

So, it seems unlikely there is a prohibition on some subset of elected offices that would include ltgov.

BTW, here's the un-updated DSCC list... (0.00 / 0)
Remember, it's weighted, so, Chicago area members will get more 'votes'.
