Check out this map on how Illinois voted in 2010. The state is almost all red. The rest of the state can’t out vote Cook County. If Obama doesn’t pull as many votes as he needs from Cook, Illinois does have a shot of going for Romney.

“The rest of the state can’t out vote Cook County. If Obama doesn’t pull as many votes as he needs from Cook, Illinois does have a shot of going for Romney.”
Absolutely correct. As goes Cook County, as goes the State of IL. I can only speak of the people I know from Cook County personally, but none of them will vote for Obama. Hopefully my micro sample will mirror Cook County at large. I feel it in my political bones that Cook County this time around will be pro-Romney by perhaps enough to throw the state to Mitt. Got my fingers crossed.
