Election 2012: Did Orland Choose Obama or Romney?
President Barack Obama keeps his title for the next four years, but who did Orland Park and Orland Hills choose to lead the country? We gathered precinct data to show who how our area voted.
President Barack Obama may have won the electoral votes and popular vote across the country, but in Orland Park and Orland Hills, Gov. Mitt Romney was the clear favorite, according to data from Cook and Will County clerks' offices. In Orland Township, Obama took only seven of 50 precincts with 12,620 votes, compared to 17,232 votes for Mitt Romney. A small segment of Orland Park is in Frankfort Township's 2nd Precinct, but they picked Romney as well with 540 votes compared to 330 votes for Obama, according to the Will County Clerk's Office. Read: The Race for President: How Illinois Voted Neither candidate completely ran away with any of the Orland Park and Orland Hills precincts.

The Race for President: How Illinois Voted
What will 2012 ballots in northern Illinois show about President Obama's support at home?
Updated at 3 a.m., Chicago time By Dennis Robaugh After NBC and CNN projected President Obama's re-election, the president sent a message shortly thereafter on Twitter at 10:14 saying simply, "This happened because of you. Thank you." Illinois, of course, was never in play. Our state's 20 electoral votes were stuck in the president's back pocket as far back as his inauguration in 2008. But in 2008's historic election, President Obama carried every collar county in northern Illinois. In 2012, the president narrowly lost out to Mitt Romney in Kane County, Kendall County and McHenry County, with 99 percent of precincts reporting. Voter turnout again was very strong. Local polling places even reported lines at 6 a.m. with voters waiting to get…

Taxation is a one of the most complicated areas of law, but your tax law articles make it so clear.

Wall St. Journal and AP Call Illinois for Obama
About 15 minutes after the polls closed, news media sources put Illinois in the Obama column, giving the president 20 electoral votes.
President Barack Obama won Illinois’ 20 electoral votes on Tuesday, defeating Republican Mitt Romney. Illinois, of course, was never in play. The only visit the president made to his home state late in the campaign came Oct. 25, when he returned to the South Side to cast an early ballot at the Martin Luther King Community Center. Obama is the first president to ever vote early in a presidential election. The Wall St. Journal and the Associated Press called the state about 15 minutes after the polls closed. The president's handling of the economy is a major factor in many voters' decision this year. "This election bears serious significance for our future," said Sheila Brady of Orland Park, outside her Fernway Elementary School polling …

Well the stock market has lost big in the last week, employers are laying off people in droves, the Middle East is exploding, 4 Americans are dead in Benghazi, our military is in the middle of sex scandals and there's possible coverups by the Obama administration. The only smart voting will be to impeach Obama. more ›

Patch on Politics
Look for a 1980-Style Romney Win, says Mary Matalin
The veteran GOP strategist visits Chicago and touts Romney • Will Illinois Democrats make income tax hike permanent in lame-duck session? • Teachers Retirement System may "bleed out".
Republican political strategist Mary Matalin predicts a 1980 redux on Election Day, with Mitt Romney emerging victorious by 7 percentage points in the popular vote. Matalin, 59, spoke Thursday evening at St. Xavier University in the Mount Greenwood community of Chicago alongside Democratic strategist Donna Brazile, who believes the race will be much, much closer. "Just 2 to 3 points, favoring the president," Brazile said. Matalin and Brazile — who are close friends — went back and forth in a discussion of presidential politics and campaign war stories in SXU's Shannon Center before a crowd of 1,000 people. Matalin, a Calumet City native who says she may never have left Chicago had the steel mills survived, allowed that she might be …

I think that everyone needs to step back, try to seperate facts from spin. Most people running for office right now have voting records. whether in the house, senate, etc. Go to the real government sites. Look up the legislature that is important to you and what you think will benefit our country and vote on facts. Not political attack ads or the spin on issue used in attack ads an sound bites. more ›

An average couple retiring today will have paid $119,000 in Medicare taxes and yet they will receive $357,000 in lifetime benefits. This means that they only paid a third of the cost. Given that retires are on average one of the richest demographics in the country, how is this fair to the younger generation, like myself, carrying this burden. - Chris Myers, VA (32) http://money.usnews.com/money/… more ›
