FILE - In this April 11, 2014 file photo, Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn, left, and his Republican rival, venture capitalist Bruce Rauner, shake hands after they appeared together at the annual meeting of the Illinois Education Association in Chicago. Locked into one of the nation's closest gubernatorial races, Quinn is focusing on a key theme as he tries to keep Rauner from becoming the first Republican in more than a decade to run Illinois: picking apart Rauner's private equity firm investments and how he made hundreds of millions of dollars. The tactic, used to portray Rauner as a heartless multimillionaire, mimics President Barack Obama campaign's portrayal of another businessman _ Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney in 2012.
