Yo Big Country...you are thinking just like me.......Chicago would fit right in with Bill and Hillary. By the way.......there was a push being made last summer to divide Illinois into North and South Illinois with everything south of Springfield being in the south and having Carbondale as the capitol. It went dead a few months ago but I am starting to see rumblings of discontent with this new administration and would not at all be surprised to see this thing fire back up.
