Duffy's Rant Netcast

If you look at the post with the election results and look at the voting in Illinois, the voting went pretty much as it has in the past.

What did surprise me was the large republican block in Southern Illinois. Another thing that struck me was the democratic finger sliding down the western edge of the state.

Most interesting.

Tomorrow morning, I’ll be putting up a widget from MSNBC to track the election. It will show national results and I’ll also put up one for Illinois results.

Congratulations to the Indiana HS Football champions!
