Has there been in recent times a bigger clown in public office than Rod
Blagojevich? The governorship in Illinois seems to be a breeding ground for
corruption- Otto Kerner and George Ryan both did time in prison and now
Blago, who by the way is in his second term. The people in Ill. deserve what
they get.

In 2002, Blago was probably the least likely candidate to get elected as
Governor. Roland Burris was strong in Chicago and Paul Vallas was strong
n the collar counties. Unfortunately, there was extremely high turnout
downstate that pushed Blago over the top. In the general election he ran
against Illinois Attorney General Jim Ryan and republicans did not have
much of a chance after the George Ryan scandal.
In 2006, he ran against Judy Barr Topinka and she got absolutely no
support for the election and she was only able to raise 6 million to
Blago's 27 million. In 2006, Blago was already under investigation and
the state budget was a disaster. I have no clue how he was able to get
elected again.

He is so far over the top that it is getting funny to watch him defend
himself.

Kind of tells you something when they are hitting the talk shows rather than
defending the impeachment charges. The Illinois State Senate needs to
convict that nutjob and cut this thing off at the head so it doesn't
embarrass the state any more than it has.

So far the smartest guy in the room is Blago's attorney, who resigned. They
will impeach Blago but they won't bring criminal charges against him. If
they did there would be a full trial and The Messiah might get splashed.
They ain't about to let that happen.
