CHICAGO (WBBM) — The long awaited decision on which Republican state senator will be the Illinois GOP candidate is near.
WBBM Political Editor Craig Dellimore reports on what the top two vote getters are saying.
State Senator Kirk Dillard is still not conceding the GOP primary race for governor, to rival Senator Bill Brady. Dillard says the difference between them is only a couple hundred votes, with the final tally including absentee and provisional ballots some time away.
Senator Brady, who remains ahead in the unofficial count, says there are no hard feelings, even if his campaign has not been able to go full speed.
In fact, Dillard says he could announce his decision this week.
Both men say a recount would be very expensive and time consuming when they ought to be focusing on ousting Pat Quinn.
