I was surprised that he article did not use the counter-example to the lack of local community organizing among WCW - Cook County. Though the suburbs see large swings (~10%) between on and off-year elections, the effect is much smaller in Cook. The difference is that the machine described in the article still functions there. Politicians like Rep Lipinski rely on WCW for their base votes. Gov Quinn could not have won in 2010 without the loyal Dem vote in Cook, including the WCW.
