I think that one ...I certainly hope you are right. I think that one of the things that united the tea party was simply their anti-tax, less government spending platform. Under the surface, they were all over the place on other issues. On the other hand, the Democrats never played the "science hand" that I thought they were going to play. That may be because they realized it had little traction. Ultimately, the counties that are solidly Democrat went that way all across the country regardless of the fact that their party ran the country into the ground. Maybe the science issue just doesn't resonate like I thought it would.Jimpithecushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10143519573877156940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19722540.post-6971338041668393022010-11-08T12:31:19.471-05:002010-11-08T12:31:19.471-05:00I'm not buying it.

They were voting the way they always do - for whoever was the Democrat on the ticket.<br /><br />If you look at the election results county by county, there are only three blue counties left in the state - Cook (Chicago), St. Clair (East St. Louis), and Alexander (extreme Southwest). <br /><br />Cook split 64 - 29. This is what killed Brady. Cook county is solidly Democrat - and Brady still took almost 30% of the vote.<br /><br />St. Clair split 48 - 47.<br /><br />Alexander split 50 - 45.<br /><br />The rest of the state is solid red, and if not for the Democrat power base in Cook County, Brady would be governor.Charles R.
