The Illinois voters are the supporters of Obama, with typically less enthusiasm as to stay at home for the campaign. If asked, the Chicagoans either hang up or say they would vote for Obama with more or less certainty. My friend in Boston says the same in Massachusetts.

"Enemies of the middle class" "Republicans cut social security" and "Republicans are arrogant" probably represent the sentiment of the opponents.
