As an Illinois native I am oh so familiar with their "political factory". Blagojovich (I don't really care if I spelled it wrong, I hope the SOB rots in jail) wasn't the odd man out in that crew, he was just the dumb a$$ that got caught. Certain people (being a member of the military we are not allowed to poke fun or criticize certain people in our chain of command) have been running Illinois as a whole as if it were Chicago because that is where they lived (including our great one Blagojovich, flew back and forth each day to springfield, refused to stay at the governors mansion and when asked why he was using the illinois tax payers money for that he said and "try and stop me."). Certain people ran that state with their blinders on only seeing what was right in front of them, hard to see past those big buildings in Chicago and it is evident that they haven't changed their ways. Oh well, if certain people keep this pooch screw going like they are I don't see a snow balls chance in heck of a re-election (crossing my fingers). That is if there is a country left to defend in 3 years!
