Obama's Votes

Attention-grabbing fact from Fred Siegal's must-read piece on Barack Obama in the dead tree edition: 90% of Obama's popular vote lead over Hillary Clinton was racked up in his home state of Illinois, and two-thirds of that 90% was accumulated in Cook County. 

Chicago has cleaned up its elections a great deal in recent years, so I think we can trust that the vast majority of those voters are indeed living.
