Not enough urban liberals in the Midwest to bulldoze over rural voters' preferences here (except Illinois)
The way Chicago is hemorrhaging its population, Illinois could go the way of its sister states too.
That may be the case now, but what happens when all those Hispanics are fully integrated, and no longer regard themselves as a separate race, like you conservatives and Republicans keep saying they will?
For now and for the near future Illinois is a Dem State. Hispanics are an ethnicity and not a race by the way.
