Outside of Cook and the surrounding burbs, most of the state is "southern". The movement doesn't surprise me.

I think some of you are really overstating the GOP movement in IL last week. Look back at 2000 and 2004. Gore only won the state by 12 points and Kerry won it by 10.

Kirk was the "correct" candidate to run in 2010 (the GOP got that one right) and he won in an off year where turnout was down and with bigtime suburban support. Put him up in a presidential year and he'll have little chance
