"But overall.............wouldn't you say that BO has huge support in Chicago, and they'd vote for him no matter what he said or did?"

No matter what? Well, yes and no. If Obama came out and called Mayor Daly a pig, that would alienate a lot of the Chicago voters and if he said that Daly was a pig who wore lipstick, that would alienate even more.

But, barring either of those events, you are right. Chicago--and most of the entire state of Illinois--is Obama crazy. And I do mean crazy.

But Illinois was crazy for Adlai Stevenson too and you remember what happened to him when Ike came along.

Chicagoland has such a surplus of Dems they even ship thousands of them up to vote in Milwaukee after they've cast their ballots in the Windy City.
