The Big City Areas vs The Rest of the State Round 2: Illinois

[Mr. Smith]

And here's Round Two.

This time, Chicago vs the rest of Illinois. Will the big city roll it in, or will the side of Champaign, Nauvoo, the Capital, and Normal be tossed a bone?

Two days to find out.

Chicago because it is Chicago, but Champaign is a little-known gem, in my opinion.

This is pretty much my take, and I add Nauvoo to that.

FINAL RESULT: Chicago, 53.8%

You never answered the question about how far the city extends for the purposes of the poll.

If I were to give a definite answer, I'd say the MSA is the best default.

But I wanted to leave it open to readers a bit to define it as they know it, since there're always little  disagreements.

@Torie: Pretty much.
