Chicago Tribune notes a Blue Wave in Illinois

Tue Sep 12, 2006 at 08:09:30 PM PDT

An article in the Chicago Tribune (our perennially Red Rag)  this evening notes a wave of Blue Voters in Illinois.  Voters have been disaffected by a series of scandals that have the state Republican party in disarray.

According to a Tribune/WGN poll, about 43% of " voters identified themselves as Democrats while a little more than a quarter of the voters identified themselves as Republicans. The 17 percentage point difference ranks among the most polarized partisan spreads in more than 16 years of Tribune surveys taken prior to an election day."

Of course the Trib tries to spin it hopefully for Republicans but I think the writing is on the wall on this one.
