IL isn't a blue state! Well, Chicago is blue b/c of all those damn demoquacks packed in the city living off the government. The rest of the state is red
True. Chicago is such a big city it swings the whole state to the blue in general elections but it's way up in the northeast corner of the state. The people in central and southern Illinois are as hardcore republican as any people I have ever been around anywhere. The town of Pittsfield Chris and I stayed in on our last trip up was like being in Mayberry on the Andy Griffith show.
