Just two days from the end, the beleaguered Republican governor, Bruce Rauner, told his supporters not to count him out of the race, saying the polls that showed him to be double-digit were "fanciful".
And miles from the Chicago machine – in Grundy, DuPage, Kane and Macon counties – the governor continued to protest against his political foe, Illinois House president Mike Madigan.
Governor and First Lady Diana Rauner spent rainy Sunday on a country bus, visiting the cafes and bars of Decatur, Gibson City, Morris and St. Charles. Rauner also led a rally for Republicans in one of Cook County's stops at Orland Park.
At Honest Abe's Tap & Grill in Morris, the governor spoke of the difficult battle to return to a second term, while warning that Democrat J. B. Pritzker will win and make the state a "nightmare".
"People are counting on us now. They say, "Oh, polls show this or that," said Rauner. "You know what, polls are whimsical, polls mean nothing, the only poll that counts is polling day," said Rauner.
In the final days of his campaign, Rauner continues to portray himself as the oppressed change agent, recalling that "no one thought we could do it" four years ago while at the same time. 39, also engaging in ambitious and possibly unrealistic goals.
"We had a supermajority against us and it was brutal," Rauner said of the Democratic majority in both the Illinois House and the Senate. "But you know what?" Two years ago, thanks to your hard work, we won six seats at the General Assembly to eliminate Mike Madigan from supermajority, and you know what? Let's do this time … we're going to get nine seats in the House and knock out Mike Madigan, he will not be the Speaker of the House.
"That's what we will do. We will get him out, "said Rauner.
Rauner said Pritzker and Madigan in charge would mean "a one-party, one-person rule" with gerrymandered districts, more taxes and more spending.
The governor said that "the truth is good for us." He said that Pritzker was trying to buy the election "with a bunch of lies" and "tin can."
When the governor announced to the crowd that the billionaire democrat had spent $ 100 million, someone in the bar shouted, "Show him."
Rauner was surrounded by Republican allies, including his candidate Evelyn Sanguinetti, the Illinois Controlling Candidate, Darlene Senger, the candidate for the Treasury of the State of Illinois. , Jim Dodge, and Congressman Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill.
Hours before the Democrats, led by former President Barack Obama, did not unpack the University of Illinois in Chicago, Kinzinger told the Grundy County Bar that he was considering a "Red wave" Tuesday. He stated that "the other side on the other side of the aisle is more interested in pointing out or giving facts or saying that things are going badly, because" they do not like a particular person or because they feel hooked. power escaped them because, frankly, he did it. "
"I think there are two options on which people have to vote on Tuesday," Kinzinger said. "You can either vote for resistance or vote for results."
Kinzinger said that Madigan "did everything to divide the state of Illinois".
"But I must tell you that I am optimistic that on Tuesday, people will go to this urn and say that they want the governor to continue the work that he started, that is, "Saying Save Illinois is on the brink and makes it the biggest state of the union again," Kinzinger said.
Rauner gave up a tradition of campaigning to visit churches on the Sunday before polling day, choosing instead to target his electoral base elsewhere. But the Republican candidate for Illinois Attorney General, Erika Harold, went to a Chicago church with his family on Sunday morning.
Harold, in a close race against Democratic Senator Kwame Raoul, also participated in a rally at Orland Park with the ticket across the state, including Rauner.
Harold spent his Saturday talking to Congressman Peter Roskam, R-Ill., In Naperville, State Senator Mike Connelly, R-Naperville, and the state representative, Grant Wehrli, R -Naperville, in Lisle, and the state senator, John Curran, R -Downers Grove, in Western Springs, said his campaign.
Instead, Pritzker visited two churches before the Obama rally in Chicago: one on the far south and the other in the northwestern district of Hermosa.
To combat the democratic rally of voters, the Rauner campaign announced Sunday night that the Republican ticket would be held Monday at the Benedictine University of Lisle.
