Election 2012: Was Tinley Park an Obama or Romney Town?
The president captured his home state in Tuesday's election, but how did he fare in the Cook County precincts that cover the village?
Although he only won 13 out of 35 Cook County voting precincts that cover the village, President Barack Obama was still the choice of the majority of Tinley Park voters in Tuesday's election, according to data released Wednesday from the county clerk's office. READ: The Race for President—How Illinois Voted The re-elected president had 12,091 votes compared to Republican challenger Mitt Romney's 11,149, according to the numbers reported by the Cook County Clerk's Office. Yet Romney won the majority of the precincts that cover Tinley Park in Orland, Bremen and Rich townships. The margins of victory at those precincts, however, were very close, sometimes with only a gap of a handful of votes. In fact, only one precinct in Tinley—Rich …

The Race for President: How Illinois Voted
What will 2012 ballots in northern Illinois show about President Obama's support at home?
Updated at 3 a.m., Chicago time By Dennis Robaugh After NBC and CNN projected President Obama's re-election, the president sent a message shortly thereafter on Twitter at 10:14 saying simply, "This happened because of you. Thank you." Illinois, of course, was never in play. Our state's 20 electoral votes were stuck in the president's back pocket as far back as his inauguration in 2008. But in 2008's historic election, President Obama carried every collar county in northern Illinois. In 2012, the president narrowly lost out to Mitt Romney in Kane County, Kendall County and McHenry County, with 99 percent of precincts reporting. Voter turnout again was very strong. Local polling places even reported lines at 6 a.m. with voters waiting to get…

Wall St. Journal and AP Call Illinois for Obama
About 15 minutes after the polls closed, news media sources put Illinois in the Obama column, giving the president 20 electoral votes.
President Barack Obama won Illinois’ 20 electoral votes on Tuesday, defeating Republican Mitt Romney. Illinois, of course, was never in play. The only visit the president made to his home state late in the campaign came Oct. 25, when he returned to the South Side to cast an early ballot at the Martin Luther King Community Center. Obama is the first president to ever vote early in a presidential election. The Wall St. Journal and the Associated Press called the state about 15 minutes after the polls closed. The president's handling of the economy is a major factor in many voters' decision this year. "This election bears serious significance for our future," said Sheila Brady of Orland Park, outside her Fernway Elementary School polling …

Well the stock market has lost big in the last week, employers are laying off people in droves, the Middle East is exploding, 4 Americans are dead in Benghazi, our military is in the middle of sex scandals and there's possible coverups by the Obama administration. The only smart voting will be to impeach Obama. more ›

Patch on Politics
Look for a 1980-Style Romney Win, says Mary Matalin
The veteran GOP strategist visits Chicago and touts Romney • Will Illinois Democrats make income tax hike permanent in lame-duck session? • Teachers Retirement System may "bleed out".
Republican political strategist Mary Matalin predicts a 1980 redux on Election Day, with Mitt Romney emerging victorious by 7 percentage points in the popular vote. Matalin, 59, spoke Thursday evening at St. Xavier University in the Mount Greenwood community of Chicago alongside Democratic strategist Donna Brazile, who believes the race will be much, much closer. "Just 2 to 3 points, favoring the president," Brazile said. Matalin and Brazile — who are close friends — went back and forth in a discussion of presidential politics and campaign war stories in SXU's Shannon Center before a crowd of 1,000 people. Matalin, a Calumet City native who says she may never have left Chicago had the steel mills survived, allowed that she might be …

I think that everyone needs to step back, try to seperate facts from spin. Most people running for office right now have voting records. whether in the house, senate, etc. Go to the real government sites. Look up the legislature that is important to you and what you think will benefit our country and vote on facts. Not political attack ads or the spin on issue used in attack ads an sound bites. more ›
