Well, now that I think about it, social conservatives never liked McCain and probably stayed home or didn’t vote for him in particular. Illinois was a lost cause anyway as it is Obamaland, so conservatives in DuPage Country probably didn’t even bother. I almost didn’t, as I never liked McCain. Too many people moving into DuPage from Chicago probably also. However, our County Board remains predominantly Pub, which makes me think lots of conservatives didn’t pull the lever for McCain while voting for other conservatives.
I live in Northfield, and I think that McCain is too liberal. If I thought that the election would have been close, in Illinois, I would have voted for McCain, since I didn’t want to help split the anti-Obama vote, helping him win Illinois’ 21 electoral votes, with about 49% of the popular vote. In Oct., I predicted that Obama would win 57%-58%, in IL, so I voted for Chuck Baldwin, of the Constitution Party.
