I think Illinois will go Republican along with all the great lake area states.

Believe it or not, even liberals like to have jobs and homes.

The shame in Illinois is that the very early primary (Feb.) kept conservatives from uniting behind one senatorial candidate, resulting in RINO Kirk getting the GOP nod vs. the Rat. Kirk may win, but a conservative Republican could have won there this year, as one is winning the gubernatorial race.

Personally, as an eastern Iowan, I want the wave to go further than the great lake states. My own congressman always gets mentioned last amongst Iowa's Rats at risk. The pundit consensus is that a major tsunami will be needed to unseat him, even more than the obnoxious little Chicago seat holder across the river. Bring it!
