Jack Ryan's site has a spreadsheet that gives the county by county breakdowns as they come in.

FYI - This blurb from capitolfax: 7pm UPDATE: CBS-2 exit polls show Barack won big. The TV station is also showing Jack Ryan ahead, but Oberweis is apparently within striking distance. NBC-5 TV in Chicago is reporting that unnamed Democrats have a copy of the sealed Jack Ryan documents and will release them before the general election.

It doesn't surprise me that they have a copy of this, or that they'll release it. But if it contains anything like what's rumoured to be in it, it will be absolutely unforgivable if we lose this seat because Ryan was too naive to think that this would get out.

It didn't have to come from some sealed documents. Someone, somewhere would have talked. It doesn't sound like Jeri Ryan is necessarily standing by her ex. Chances are she told somebody about what the circumstances were and with a senate seat on the line you can bet dems would have found them. One man's opinion

Here's the bad part about Obama winning for Republicans.

Obama has just locked up Illinois for the Dems, because he is an African-American, and he is very popular with his African-American constituency. They will turn out in force for him, and I assume vote straight party line.

It's not that the outcome of Illinois in 2004 was in doubt before, but this just takes Illinois off the table, imo.

I voted around 3pm in my NW burb (Cook) and the poll people told me that turn out was very low.

Lower for the GOP than the Dems, but still low all around.

It'll be interesting to see if that was the case throughout the state.
