The only reason I didn't vote for her was because she picked the absolute worst running mate there is. I did not want Joe Birkett anywhere near the statehouse. Had she picked anyone else she would have gotten my vote. (I did vote for her for treasurer twice)
As for Blagojevich, what's most shocking to me is not that he's so sleazy, but how stupid he was about all this. (Hello, you've been under investigation since 2002 or so and yet you still pull this crap?) The honorable thing for him to do would be to step down, but he probably won't. (The legislature is coming back for an emergency session on Monday - methinks impeachment proceedings are in the works.)
