You probably all already saw this, but here's a link to the Trib's coverage of yesterday's election results. Results aside, I am encouraged that many more votes were cast in the Dem primaries than in the GOP. In the senatorial and gubernatorial primaries, Dems cast 148,450 and 134,237 more votes, respectively. Of course, primaries aren't exact predictors of what will happen in the general and voter turnout was awfully low, but I'm hoping this means that Illinois remains blue.
UPDATE: So, Salon has a different take on the spread between Dem and GOP votes. In their view, the spread is much thinner than it would normally be in a generally solid Dem state like ours. They think this could mean trouble in November.
