Turnout for the primary wasn't exactly impressive.

I like it just the way it is. My vote counts for so much more.
Maybe that is because 85% of the registered voters have figured out that there isn't a hill of beans difference between the two parties. Oh yes, they talk two different games, but in the end it's just incompetence as usual.
No your vote doesn't count more, it just means that you are voting for the pick-pocket spend thrifts.
I feel like the QCA missed a great opportunity with Rumler - oh well - i hope that man will remain an active and positive voice in our community. What were people thinkgin????
I think that Rumler would make a great Rep for the 17th district. It is too bad they already filled the Obama position.
I get the feeling this isn't the last we'll hear of Paul Rumler. Look around folks. Now that the dust has cleared from the Primary, we can really digest what happened. He put together a pretty professional campaign, without money, or local connections. He managed to garner a huge number of votes against an incumbent with 200K and the machine's backing.
Now, I'm sure the Jacobs supporters will pretend like the only reason Rumler got any votes is because people were upset with how Mike got the job, but that is not true. If you look at this situation historically (unlike-able incumbent, unknown, broke challenger), you'll see that typically the challenger will only land around 30% of votes in a primary. What Rumler did was awfully impressive. Don't think that the party leaders didn't take notice. Trust me, we'll hear more from him. It's not everyday someone this young comes along, with this much political experience.
People were thinking that Senator Mike Jacobs was the better choice.
The other thing to tale notice of is that there is a strong base of 56% that it would take a terrible blunder for Jacobs to lose. If he is successful in bringing Thomson prison and WIU to the area his numbers will skyrocket.
