"Thinka Topinka" is about as corny as one can get, but it’s State Treasurer Judy Baar Topinka’s web site for governor.

There’s even a downloadable petition.

Will she "Think Poe" for her Lt. Gov. candidate?

Here’s a copy of her letter asking for help in getting on the ballot:

Dear Friend:

Are you ready to change this State? I plan to formally announce later this month that I will run for Governor of the State of Illinois. It is a big undertaking and frankly, I could not have made it this far without the support of friends like you. From my first race for State Representative to my career as Illinois State Treasurer it has been a group effort. Now I need your help more than ever.

In order to get on the ballot I must file 10,000 signatures with the State Board of Elections next month. Your help collecting those signatures will be invaluable. Please download and print the petition forms located on this page and have your family, friends and neighbors sign them. Instructions for completing and returning them are included with the petitions. It does not matter if the page is full, every signature counts.

Thank you again for all of your help; together we will win!

Sincerely,

Signed Judy Baar Topinka
