He still has the Electoral vote for Illinois.

Hence my point, they are democrat die hard you think they was going to vote for McCain?
They have to back up their own government people cause if they do they stand the chance of getting more benefit due to Obama coming from Illinois.

But if you read the comments on most of the stuff written, you will find some of the chicago folks talking on there, you will have to dig back to the beginning of that site, but since then everyone on the world's map is on that page.

The republican or anti-Obama who from Chicago is created this website, there's some residents in Chicago are republican, even some of them are anti-Obama as well, nothing is big than expected.

Same goes with Sarah Palin, there's many anti-Palin protest in AK and does it means AK would be blue state? It will not gonna be happen since majority residents from AK are support Palin, however anti-Palin is narrow in AK, just like anti-Obama in IL.

Electoral vote is counted based on popular vote in each state, if IL has major of votes for Obama then Obama win for IL and give an blue state, just like other example, if AZ has major of votes for McCain then McCain win for AZ and give AZ an red state, that how electoral college works.

I got explanation from jillio about that.

There's still some anti-Obama in IL, even AZ has some anti-McCain as well, both of them aren't big as most supporters do.

I guess that pretty much invalidates your point about Chicago not backing Obama, then, doesn't it?

BTW, he is gaining in the polls in 7 key states.
