With all the political handwringing and wannabe king-making happening in the still-brand-new Mayoral race, perhaps we've all forgotten that - oh yeah! - we're electing a Governor and a Senator first, amongst other things.

Restauranteur and prior mayoral write-in candidate (much to the then-chagrin of Mayor Daley and the no-fun Powers That Be) Ina Pinkney wants you to write her name onto the ballot - and she explained why to the Chicagoist Podcast Series.
