I think a lot of people were not happy with the choice between Blagojevich and Topinka. I also think Topinka's choice of running mate really hurt her - I know a lot of people (especially women) who would have had no problem voting for her, but could not stand Birkett and didn't want him anywhere near the governor's mansion. (he is dreadful!)
That said, it is a beautiful day to be a Democrat.

Cosign! I toyed with the idea of the voting for Whitney, but in the end, I held my nose and voted for Blago. Can't stand Birkett, so Topinka wasn't really an option.
I'm watching the Cook County Board election pretty closely, though. Anyone else smell a recount coming?

I can't believe the people in my state voted for a guy who lists his economic honor society from 1979 on his webpage, and also believes breast cancer and abortion are linked. He has a JD, and isn't an MD, wtf.
UGH

I can't make this kind of crap up. I'll PM you a link to his page. Oliver North gave him an award for being a "Champion of the Family", I wonder if he recalls giving it to him.
ETA: Nevermind, the page has changed now that he has won. It has a big picture of him congratulating himself with clapping and this goober grin. Hopefully the cached links will work.
