“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.
That’s good news! I’m keeping my fingers crossed, too!!
