As always, these states like Illinois will vote Democrat. Look what they did in Detroit. No matter how corrupt or bad it was, they voted the same.
Yet this stupid a$$ state STILL elects (D)Marxists. Why Illinois? Why?
Inability on the part of the majority of voters to link cause and effect?
it’s because Chicago vote totally RAT, thus negating the rest of what the state votes/wants
They will, until the people wake up. When and if they do is another question
.........”Then we’ll have OBAMA PHONES, OBAMA CARE, OBAMA SCHOOL, etcetara and so forth.”

GAG!
Too late now. He’s not leaving.
Are they sick of Hillary, that’s the 64-dollar question.
12 Numbers Which Prove That Americans Are Sick And Tired Of Politics As Usual

Illinois voted for Obama in both elections. They are not “sick” of Obama - they love him. The writer did not present even one example of how Illinois is “sick” of Obama.
It's dawned on the good people of Illinois that their government 'works' for the people IN GOVERNMENT. And it doesn't work for anyone else...
5 counties here in Illinois are the problem, just 5 counties out of 103. The rest of this state are relatively normal, surprisingly conservative even. But we have been so gerrymandered by Madigan and the Combine it’s going to be almost impossible to save the state I grrew up and raised a family in.
So we are planning to leave. 4-5 more years and we are gone.
Maybe a few but we know who they are.
Seattle-Tacoma is the tail that wags the dog called Wash. State. And now Seattle has elected a queer mayor and an openly socialist councilwoman from India. Could it get any better?
Yes, just wait! Now they are trying to ram a $15/hr. minimum wage down the voters throats. Kshama Sawant, the avowed Marxist council member, has a degree in economics. Read her Wikipedia biography; she’s a real pip.
Milwaukee and St. Paul
Rescuing IL goes on the “impossible” list.
Without Cook, Romney would have carried the state.
But Obama still would have won the state in 2008 (not to mention the 2004 Senate race) and Clinton would have won in ‘92 and ‘96, though both times in a near tie and only thanks to Perot.
Because I am a nerd for such things, I’ve been working on a little something. Forgive the ping if you aren’t interested in this sort of thing.
Using data from Dave Leip’s Atlas
I calculated the exact results from the last 7 Presidential and 3 Gubernatorial elections for Illinois, without Cook County. It’s interesting to compare the rest of Illinois (”Restinois”) to it’s neighbors Indiana and Missouri and put into perspective just how badly Crook county screws things up. If Restinois were actually separate it would have been a hotly contested state, not ignored by Republican POTUS candidates, so the actual results would have ended up slightly better, but here they are. A fun yet sad hypothetical.
2012
Romney (R) 50.66%
Obama (D) 47.30 %
Johnson (Libert) 1.25%
+3.36% Romney. Would have been the closest Romney win after North Carolina
2008
Obama (D) 52.77%
McCain (R) 45.49%
-7.28% Closely mirroring the nationwide margin, -7.26%
2004
Bush (R) 54.22%
Kerry (D) 45.02%
+9.2% Bush! That beats Missouri and Virginia that year and was almost as big a margin as Arkansas.
2000
Bush (R) 51.63%
Gore (D) 45.49%
Nader (Green) 2.14%
+6.14% Bush, only slightly worse than Arizona
1996
Clinton (D) 45.98%
Dole (R) 43.54%
Perot (Ref) 9.66%
-2.44% Would have joined 4 other states that Clinton won by less than 3%. 63,000 vote margin for Clinton. Major attention by Dole (which would have been likely) could have given him the win.
1992
Clinton 41.46%
Bush 38.88%
Perot 19.24%
-2.58% Like 1996, very close.
Now the Gubernatorial elections. Lets see what the Restinois thinks of Chicago scumbags who run for Governor. Of course they wouldn’t even be eligible to run if their home county wasn’t in the state, instead the Republicans would have faced different democrats who would have run stronger in Restinois.
2010
Brady (R) 56.34%
Quinn (R) 36.23%
Cohen (R) 3.57%
Whitney (G) 2.82%
Green (L) 1.04%
If you were wondering exactly how badly Quinn got his butt kicked outside of Cook, it was 20 points. Yes, the Libertarian as named Green.
2002
Topinka (RINO) 47.01%
Blagovevich (D) 40.53%
Whitney (G) 11.58%
Topinka is also from Cook county so she wouldn’t have been able to run either. But as we see even against a worthless RINO running a poor campaign, Blago still lost Restinois by a good margin.
2002
Ryan (R) 53.5%
Blagovevich (D) 43.48%
Skinner (L) 2.44%
Oh look, not even close, easy 10 point win for Ryan. And Blago was the rat that downstate democrats preferred, that was the only reason he won the primary, he placed third in Cook county in primary. So Blago wouldn’t have been Governor of anything!
The last rat Governor to come from outside Cook was Dan Walker. He beat narrowly beat Cook County Republican and incumbent Governor Richard Ogilvie in 1972. Even Walker would have lost without Cook.
The last time Restinois voted for a Chicago rat for Governor was in 1960, when rat Otto Kerner carried Restinois by a few thousands votes over incumbent William Stratton, our last conservative Governor.
6 POTUS elections I mean. I didn’t do 1988 since Bush won even with Cook.
Amen...! Your’re preaching to the choir.
Thanks.
Bump
delicious. I cannot imagine what kinda person would not be interested in that sort of thing.
Personally, I can’t wait to visit the Choom Gang Museum, scheduled to open in 2017....
