The Road back to Alaska May not be easy for Palin

And unless Illinois law is quite different from any other law I'm familiar with, no one can hold two offices normally filled by election at the same time.

Here's a TIME article on it.

AH! So it was just hearsay! To be completely honest, I've only lived here a couple of months and I already don't like Blagojevich. Mostly because he pushed everyone to get IPass (or easypass, or whatever the open road tolling is anywhere else) by making the tolls twice as high if you're paying in cash, and now he wants to use the open road tolling as traffic control devices, to send (in the mail) speeding tickets to owners of vehicles. That's not what they were there for!

I don't really know if I explained the IPass thing right - I don't know if I could!

No one -- not even die-hard Democrats - likes Gov. Elvis. He might like to be the next Senator from Illinois, but he'd hate the commute. Rumor has it Blago may appoint Jesse Jackson, Jr. As for IPass, you'll get used to it. IPass is the least of Illinois' problems.

/end hijack.

I'm a new Illinois resident (by two months and 4 days). I get that he's not well liked around here - the IPass thing is just what I've been hearing most often now.

He's a typical Illinois politician...who will probably join Gov. Ryan as a guest of the Federal Government after he leaves office. IPass is a bigger deal to the Northsiders that Southsiders.

Besides, he beat out a sister in his race for governor
