Of Sen. Obama's 711,000 popular-vote lead, 650,000 -- or more than 90% of the total margin -- comes from Sen. Obama's home state of Illinois, with 429,000 of that lead coming from his home base of Cook County. This type of analysis is nonsense. Just because Obama got 429,000 more votes than Hillary in Cook County doesn't mean that that is the "source" of his lead in the national popular vote total. Hillary probably got 429,000 more votes than Obama somewhere, and you could just as easily say that that place (wherever it is) is the reason Obama isn't twice as far ahead than he actually is.
