Six Republicans Running for Governor
There are plenty of Republicans -- six of them -- who see an opportunity in the governor's office. The GOP's day at the Illinois State Fair included those candidates, three of whom -- Bill Brady (R-Bloomington), Kirk Dillard (R-Hinsdale), and Matt Murphy (R-Palatine) -- are in the State Senate. The others are Adam Andrzejewski, Dan Proft, and Bob Schillerstrom . Andrzejewski and Proft are businessmen, and Schillerstrom is chair of the DuPage County Board.

The gloves may be starting to come off, with Murphy launching a television ad accusing Dillard of being a go-along tax-raiser who helped enable former Gov. Rod Blagojevich. The program on stage at the Director's Lawn at the fair Thursday did not include speeches from any of the statewide candidates.
