I'm in Illinois and not being in a swing state is a wonderful thing. No adds and very few signs. Some dipshit decided to deface a bunch of the Bush ones that I did see on my way to work, but who cares, at best it will be close for Kerry here. The Illinois republican party must either be run by Democrats or idiots (KEYS?!?!) and there is little doubt the state will go to Kerry.
