FILE - In this April 11, 2014 file photo, Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn, left, and his Republican rival, businessman Bruce Rauner, shake hands after they appeared together at the annual meeting of the Illinois Education Association in Chicago. Illinois has seen a roughly 30 percent increase in the number of TV ads and the money spent to air them this election cycle compared to four years ago, according to an analysis by the non-partisan Center for Public Integrity. That jump has been fueled by the neck-and-neck race between Rauner and Quinn. (AP Photo/M. Spencer Green, File)
