Bush-Cheney spent a lot of time in Illinois in 2000, next to Florida and California and Texas.

His last campaign stop in Illinois was Glen Ellyn, a Chicagoland suburb.

Nope, not unless you move Cook County to Indiana. At the time Cook had 42% of Illinois' population, and someone like Bush was never going to close the huge D margins in Cook.

Probably not. That would require pulling a lot more votes out of the Illinois suburbs as well as killing Gore in rural areas, neither of which I think were really possible or that practical, considering how well Gore did in Chicago.
