who was brought in at the last moment after Republican nominee Jack Ryan withdrew following a sex scandal.
Keys, neither a resident nor a native of Illinois was easily defeated by Obama, as he probably would have been by almost any resident of the state.

As of yet, Obama has not really been tested in a state-wide general election.
