The dead in Illinois still vote democrat, Mayor Daley Sr and
Jr have a strong hold on the whole state. The governor
answers to the Mayor, so much so that he has moved the
official functions and offices to Chicago, the Official
Capitol in Springfield is partly a ghost town.

Durbin the Turban actually lives in a village on the edge of
Springfield that is all country club and million dollar
homes.
