We’re heading into that stretch of the political campaign season when everything’s getting a little goofy.

    Talk about shooting a fly with a howitzer.

    Boiling it down to the basics, a Dunkin win weakens Madigan and a Stratton win weakens Rauner.

    One, Stratton’s falling behind, and her team’s desperately throwing the ultimate Hail Mary.

    If Dunkin loses, I expect Rauner and his gang will take care of him, somehow or other.

    I went with Dunkin largely because he’s a tenacious campaigner whose campaign strategists seem smarter than Stratton’s.
