Sullivan predicted to carry Cook County and Illinois core
Democratic managers forecast a Sullivan plurality in Cook County, with Chicago delivering the margin to push him to the Senate. They argue 200,000 of 350,000 Cook County male voters will back Sullivan, plus 40,000 nonprimary Democrats and cross-party supporters. They accuse Republicans of calamity cries, claim economic adjustment will help the unemployed, and note party loyalties in Dunne and Powell comments.
