New year, new governor, new legislature. Among Illinois Democrats, there’s a thrill of excitement only Chris Matthews’ leg during a Barack Obama speech could appreciate.

In the Senate, Democrats will hold 40 seats to the GOP’s 19. For the most part, voters swept out the suburban Republicans who have often served as the General Assembly’s only fiscal disciplinarians.

Where are you getting your information? I live in Illinois and think I have a fairly accurate idea of what is going on. The leftists are well ensconced here and will be getting their handouts to the bitter end. They see no reason to move. Some may even think that conservatives departing is a good thing because they are greedy capitalists that suck up money that otherwise would go straight from the government to them. (Yes, they’re that stupid).
I see the ones coming to Florida. They have money. They used to visit. Now they stay.
