Pick a county

Posted in:

Illinois
Obama

A hot topic of debate among insiders these days is which, if any, counties Alan Keyes wins today. Any guesses?

Pollster Rod McCulloch thinks Barack Obama could win them all.

“Barack Obama will set records tomorrow,” pollster Rod McCulloch said. “He is poised to join Alan Dixon and Jesse White as the only candidate to win every one of Illinois’ 102 Counties.”

Senator Obama leads sharply in every geographic region of the state, according to the poll. Senator Obama’s strongest region of the state is the City of Chicago, where he holds a whopping 87%-10.5% lead. Sen. Obama also leads by more than a three-to-one margin in Suburban Cook County (75.5%-20.1%). Even in the normally Republican Collar Counties, Sen. Obama has almost a two-to-one margin over Ambassador Keyes.

I sent an email to McCulloch asking for the downstate numbers. I’ll update this later.

I bet Obama wins all 102 counties and holds Keyes to under 30%.
