After abandoning his job in the Senate during the financial crisis, will Illinois re-elect Obama?

Obama will undoubtedly lose on November 4th, but will the people of Illinois take him back? He spent his whole first term in the U.S. Senate campaigning for President, and that is slipping away. He abandoned his job in the Senate, during the financial crisis. Will the people of Illinois fire him?

Update:

Note: Obama is currently the junior Senator from Illinois. I can see that kiddies don't know that is the job he was hired to do, not run for President and lose.

    Whether he wins or loses, we don't want him back at all. He can actually do more damage to the country in Washington anyhow. If he came back to Illinois at just the right time, he might be able to fill Gov. Blago's spot when he is doing the perp walk.

    When the gangsters came to in Illinois in 1920, they just stayed and became politicians.

    No. this is going to likely be greater perfect. The much less high priced Care Act will bend the fee curve on wellbeing care. Dodd-Frank will end the reckless cowboy capitalism interior the financial industry. The EPA would be imposing rules that we weren't enforced forcefully in the previous. as a consequence, the two your environment and the economic equipment would be helped.

    Personally, I hope the answer is yes. The one problem is that McCain doesn't seem to interested in winning this election...he might not need the people of Illinois.

    <<<Jacquot, it'll be Jan 21 I believe, not Nov 5.....if it happens. Still an 'if.'

    Yes, Illinois will elect Obama for President. Then re-elect him in 2012.

    Actually, McCain has been absent from the Senate more than anyone. He's even missed more time than that guy who had the brain hemmorhage.

    They shouldn't. But I'm sure, that just like the other 56 states BHO visited, everybody thinks it's the other guys representative when the fact of the matter is, it is every single one in the House and every single one in the Senate. Not a single one deserves our trust or respect. Fire them all!

    America First! not last.

    He won't have to worry about it, because you'll be calling him President Obama on November 5th.

    Remember. President Obama. Nov 5, 2008. Coming to you. Deal with it.

    Obama will undoubtedly win on November 4th.

    ADD - He isn't going to lose. He is so far ahead of McPa(L)inInTheAss. Check the polls.

    It all depends on how many bus loads they can get from Mississippi registered before the election.

    obama will be president, because mccain LIED about "suspending" his campaign an d he LIED about NOT going to the 1st debate unless a bailout was agreed upon (it wasn't but liar john went to the 1st debate anyway)

    mccain just aired his socilaistic, $300 BILLION plan to buy bad mortgages.

    you'll vote for that?
