What's up with Illinois?
 

Wow! Do the people who want to be governor have to take AND PASS some sort of corruption test? If he is convicted, he'll b the 4th one!

I grew up in Chicago during the later years of the Dailey Machine. Who can forget, Vote early, Vote often!!! A lot of dirty politicians there!

The state is broke. He's a terrible governor. Will be glad to see him go.

Gossip has it that Rahm is the one who busted the Guv and demanded an expedited arrest after Team Obama wouldn't play ball....gotta love it! Good riddance and Gobama! I love seeing Fitz back in action!

I'm sure there will be a lot more unfolding. Dane, one of my coworkers is from Chicago. He and his wife actually had Daley people come to their door and escort them to the voting area next door.

The last 4 govs are in jail. Wow.

We know that just about all politicians are corrupt in one way or another. Most of them are discrete about it. This guy was blatant.

I thought we weren't supposed to be discussing politics on the boards...

Chicago has been corrupt going back many years.

I was floored by the blatancy of it!! I'm glad they caught the crook.

I think that was for the election and the propositions, etc. I think TPTB wanted to avoid arguments over things like Proposition 8 here in Calif. Also, they probably wanted to avoid candidate bashing.

This is a news item.

You forgot to Vote White, too. My parents tell me this saying all the time, its sorta like a joke. My parents are from Chicago I guess they could make a joke about that.

Vote white, vote early, and vote often.

You know his office staff, and I mean right down to the receptionist, has probably been questioned by the FBI and other agencies.

It's funny because (being originally from Chicago, only moved to WI last year), Blagoveich has been under SOOO many investigations that it was about d@mn time he got caught! It kind of stinks because pretty much if you're from IL, you know that when it comes to elections, you almost want to write in other names instead of the candidates running because the majority of them are just kind of...bleh. You don't want to vote for either of them!

Definitely about time someone got hard proof of his corruption!
