Before you get too encouraged, you Freepers need know that the graveyards and prisons are full of voters who weren't included in this poll!

You let the air out of what I was going to say.

[Lawgvr1955]

This is pretty “pie in the sky” news. Ain’t gonna happen. My home state of Illinois, the corruption capital of the US, will vote for Obama. No questions.

[LS]

Yeah, but this is also registered voters, not likely. Add two more points to Romney.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Cook is the most Democratic leaning county in the state.

There's nothing "Democratic" about RATs.

It is also the most populous.

It is also the most corrupt.

[bert]

The lead in the city would be greater except in the last four years the constituents have killed each other off.

[Former Proud Canadian]

I don't know how many will actually vote for Obama in Cook County. I do know that they will count the votes, and then keep counting them until Obama gets enough votes to win the state.

Things haven't changed much since 1960.

[Ann Archy]

Well, they certainly aren’t ALL dumb in Illinois.

[98ZJ USMC]

He has to come out of Cook County with a big lead or he’s gonna have problems downstate

You got that right. We So. Ill. folks no likey da Lightbringer.

[Lee'sGhost]

I don’t understand. What does Kenya have to do with Illinois?

[cicero2k]

Didn’t Mondale lose his home state of Minnesota in1984, vs. Reagan redux?

This is not so far fetched.

Registered voter polls are worthless. However, if Willard was truly polling at 37% in Cook County, that is 15% higher than McCain’s paltry 22% showing in ‘08. If that is the case statewide, using the ‘08 returns, that adds up to a 50-47% Willard statewide victory. If he carries IL, the race is over. Still, I don’t think it’s likely (even Carter carried Georgia in 1980 handily (56-41%) despite his abysmal national showing).

[Dr. Ursus]

I predict Obama will get 120% of the Cook county vote!

[I still care]

The cemetaries have been voting in Illinois for years, and they all vote Democrat. They can’t let CA fall off the cliff all alone.

Just the same, it’s nice to see SOME of them are waking up.

[Kartographer]

"Good evening we are from The DNC are you registed to vote?"

Chicago Values = Crook County.

[alrea]

Obamao still leads in the city of Chicago, 60-29.

Still trying to figure out why such a high percentage of city folks and journalists prefer the shared misery of socialism.

[TomGuy]

And they vote early; vote often.

[chuckee]

I doubt this poll.My daughter lives in a high rise off the Loop in Chicago. She says Republican primary day is a breeze in her building as there is never any wait in the Republican primary voting room while the Dem room usually has lines out the door.She said she once saw a person enter the room while she was there but it turned out to be a delivery guy who lost his way.

[luvbach1]

He’s counting on Chicago to pull him through. They delivered for Kennedy in ‘60. They can produce votes to order: 100K fresh and hot votes coming up. Do you want fries with that?

[ScottinVA]

No way. Like CA and NY, Illinois is conquered territory and is going nowhere. The dems will never let that one get away.
