Some political junkie on facebook actually made a homemade map of the county-by-county results in Illinois for Governor by coloring in the totals himself. Hee hee. Some people have too much time on their hands. But check this out. Like the Bush vs. Gore race, it's veryyyyyy interesting when you break it down by region instead of raw numbers statewide. And I think it shows more than even why Dillard needs to concede and support the voter's choice:

One of the reasons why it's so close is that Crook County is home to Chicago and has a population of over five million, but Brady did terrible here and only got 5% of the vote. I also broke that down by region... Brady got 5.2% in all of suburban Cook County... 6.75% in my township of 150,000 people, and 16.80% of the vote in my precinct where I knocked on doors for him. Lost to McKenna by one vote in my neck of the woods. Just damn. If I had know it had been this close I would have worked three precincts for him and not handed out Proft's stuff as well (with a note saying they're both solid conservatives but suggesting voters support the strongest conservative in the race)
