Yep. Which is why I'm adamantly against these whacked-out city freaks choosing my Senator for me:
Illinois House Speaker
Mike Madigan (D-Chicago) 
Illinois House Majority Leader
Barbara Flynn Currie (D-Chicago) 
Illinois Senate President
John Cullteron (D-Chicago) 
But thanks to the 17th amendment, us normal folks living ELSEWHERE in Illinois were able to elect these NON city freaks as our Senator:
U.S. Senator
Everett Dirksen (R-IL) of Pekin, Illinois 
U.S. Senator
Peter Fitzgerald (R-IL) of Inverness, Illinois
