Actualy, Obama supporters didn't march to the polls across the state. Over 70% of his votes came out of Chicago's Cook County. A majority of the rest came out of the suburban "Collar Counties." As I noted in a previous posting, Obama only carried 13 out of 102 counties. He only carried seven counties downstate. Of them, three (Kanakee, Iriquois, & Vermillion) are near Chicago, three (Jackson, Champaign, & McDonough) are dominated by university towns, and the other (Sangamon) contains the state capitol.

A lot of minorities have been migrating to the Collar Counties. Kanakee, the home of RINO George Ryan, has a sizable Black/Latino population, if not majority population. Also, next to affluent Naperville is Aurora (Kane County), a town full of minorities. Ditto for Joliet. 30 years ago, they were small farming towns. They now look like the South Side of Chicago.
