| Apparently Illinois voters selected Obama but voted for a Republican Congressman Mark Kirk |

ABC "News" just reported this unlikely event. Kirk "won" over Dan Seals a democrat.
I think the congressional and senatorial races need some looking into--especially in MN with Franken.
Announcer said that the democrats didn't pick up as many senate and congressional seats as needed and will therefore need the help of Republicans--of which the announcer is one.
This will make things VERY hard for Obama.

| 1. Not too surprising, considering the district. |
|
Lots of very big, very expensive houses up there.

| 2. It doesn't make sense. People don't vote one way then the exact opposite. They voted for change. |
|
I believe they stole the congressional seat.

| 3. Are you looking at returns for just the 10th district? |
|
I wouldn't be surprised if McCain won in that district.
