Compared to Democrats a day earlier, Illinois Republicans presented the picture of unity during their party’s festivities at the Illinois State Fair.
There were no angry protestors like the ones that booed Governor Pat Quinn off the stage at his own fairgrounds rally on Wednesday.
GOP speakers urged voters to support Republicans in legislative races, warning that a vote for any Democrat was a vote for Speaker Mike Madigan, and a continuation of the policies that led to the state’s pension crisis.
