IL Democrats in Cook furiously come home at the end. It's been that way time and time and time again in many of these races where it looks like the GOP candidate is either far ahead, or with a smaller lead, but is likely to win.
I still believe at the end of the day, Quinn pulls this out.
Not neccesarily. The GOP held the governorship in Illinois from 1977 to 2003. Granted that Illinois was more Republican then than it is now, it goes to show that the Democrats can’t always rely on Cook County to deliver them their margin.
