Obama will not lose Illinois, the Chicago machine will take care of their home field.

Chicago voter registration is down by 225,000 from 2008.

Outside of Cook County (i.e., Chicago and a handful of collar communities) and downstate Madison and St. Clair Counties. Illinois is moderate to conservative. The reason Illinois is so bankrupt and corrupt is because Cook County dominates the state.

Could you imagine if that happened? It would truly give new meaning to the phrase “temper tantrum”, lol!

It all depends on voter turnout in Chicago. Overall democrat turnout may well be down. Many are dissatisfied with Obama, even in the Black community. If they still turn out, he’ll get Illinois, if their numbers are down it could turn into a GOP win, but it would be very close.

Obama is running ads here in Illinois.

His people are obviously worried.

"Could Obama Lose Home State Of Illinois?"

Now *that* is a coincidence. What are the odds they'd have a state named "Illinois" in Kenya?

Indiana is a healthy red state. We don’t want Chicago turning them blue. Better to shove it in another blue state like Michigan. Perhaps combine Chicago with Detroit under the banner Decago

“It will be a Reagan-esque blowout if Illinois is in play.”

Yes it will be, and just think of all the testicle transplant doctors offices full of Republican officeholders if it happens. Be proactive, buy stock in sex change doctors, you stand to make a killing if Romney wins.

“it’s just too Democrat a state right now.”

Why does the word “corrupt” suddenly pop into my head?

I don’t the answer but there are 3 things to consider:

1) Chicago Tribune Sept 26th: “With two weeks left to register to vote, the number of people on Chicago’s voting rolls is about 225,000 less than it was by the time registration closed four years ago, election officials said today.”
2) Obama campaign officials threatened an NAACP official who is not backing Obama and he referred this to the police
3) Kevin DuJan of Hillbuzz lives in Chicago and says black pastors have been telling congregations to stay home and not vote. They are angry at Obama’s same-sex marriage policy and amnesty to illegals.
