i want to unpack the chicago numbers first because why spend that mump money in chicago? isn't that romney territory already or is this a sign of a campaign not letting anything go? >> that's a good question. the one thing to know about illinois is that 70% of the vote in the illinois primary comes from north of the interstate 80 that cuts the state in half. or the bulk of the vote comes from, it comes from that region. that's why you spend more money in television in that neck of the woods. there are all kinds of different parts of the state, some are more conservative, some more independent and moderate. spending that you're talking about from the perspective of advertising reflects tactical decision of the super pac and the romney campaign where they should be driving their message. >> folks on my left, bill, you're a money man. i said the word carpet bombing, there's a tally somewhere, in the tens if not 20s. this is again we've seen romney strategy play out again and again. >> right. >> the question, i think, all of us are wondering is, does a win in illinois put it

vaccines have eliminated polio, and all but wiped out measles, mumps and rubella. i think the reason why we're not seeing a lot of those illnesses is just because of that. not because we're necessarily a healthier population, but because we've taken steps to try and eradicate those diseases that we could eradicate. we have a tremendous number of vaccines we didn't have even when i started practicing, for instance, the h-flu vaccine which came out in the late 80s and we started giving it before the age of 2 in the 90s. when i started practicing, my very first week in practice, i almost lost a child to h-flu meningitis. carried them in the back of my car to the emergency room, ran them in... thankfully they did well. but that's a disease we don't even see anymore because of the h-flu type b vaccine. what we see most commonly now is respiratory infections, especially otitis media. we see a tremendous number of children with ear infections. other respiratory infections are very common-- coughs, cold, sinus and cause us a lot of visits. catherine parrish: and that's bec
