It's official - Bill Brady has been certified the winner of the Illinois Republican Primary election for Governor!

While runner up, Kirk Dillard had threatened to mount a recount, the word is that he will, in fact, concede today.

As a friend pointed out this morning - the delay in the certification has given Brady some free air time over the potential recount.

Now, attention will turn to next week's address by Governor Pat Quinn has he presents his state budget.

Quinn's speech will be like the captain of the Titanic, sitting in a life raft, and explaining how he should be named captain of whatever rescue ship picks them up!!
