It's not bizarre at all. There has been a decided shift away from the Democrats in many of the traditional Democratic downstate counties. There are several counties where the percentage of people who voted for favorite son Barack Obama in 2008 was less than that for Al Gore 8 years earlier.
Problem for the GOP is that Du Page and the other suburban counties have shifted Democratic from their traditional GOP leanings. It takes a whole lot of Gallatin and Alexander Counties with under 10,000 votes to shift to cancel out the shift of 800,000 vote DuPage however.
