That is all for now. Sleep well.

6. NOT Chicago....
but a lot of the Western 'burbs (Henry Hyde country) voted straight republican. Most of those votes probably came from idiots who would only vote for someone with a (R) after their name.

11. Northern Illinois...by the Chain O' Lakes

.....Johnsburg to be exact....a little, inbred village of 2000.

Moved here to get my kids out of Chicago, then found out that the people here were really, really stupid.

And yeah....I've been to Utah, beautiful countryside, but it does suck to be you...living with all of the red voters.

10. Funny thing is Alan Keyes platform matches Bush's almost exactly.
Which proves the election isn't about ideas.
