Glad to see you were provided a little hope. Unfortunately, that part of Illinois is not a part of the Cook County Democrat Fraud Machine which usually determines Illinois elections.
Thank you, but I think even the most die hard McCain supporter is willing to concede Ill. to Obama.

If strong Ds are 20% overtly not supporting O even in IL that is an excellent nugget. Of course you probably oversampled rural in that drive so can’t get too much from it.
In Illinois, you must check for signage in the graveyards ... ;)
We live in Rochelle. Hwy 251 through town is what we refer to as Democrat Row. The signs went up very late this season, and few of the homes are displaying signs. And best of all, of of the historically big Democrat backers has a McCain/Palin in the yard. Beyond that we’re seeing probable an equal number of both scattered around town.
Out here its Republican country for the most part. We share Burzynski and Pritchard with you in DeKalb/Sycamore, and congressman Don Manzullo. All good Republicans. We voted around 8 a.m. More people than usual, but we were late getting there so what we encountered may not be that unusual. NO on the constitutional convention. NO on Ogle County courthouse (the old one) being renevated and YES! on the concealed carry amendment. What was interesting, a number of state offices had only Republican office seekers. No Democrat, no Green, no nothing. It didn’t make a difference to me, but I thought that was unusual...
I commented last week about the lack of signs in my Democrat area. I found out that the Dems didn’t bother to put money into Illinois since they figure its a lock. They channeled the resources into the battleground states, like Indiana right next door. It has been an eerily quiet election period around here. As the late Mayor of Chicago Harold Washington would say, it’s “hubris....gone wild.”
