Deranged Gov. Blagojevich thinks he can get reelected

Illinois' Democratic governor, Rod Blagojevich, believes if he was up for reelection this year, he'd win.

I suppose "Blago" thinks that whales swim in Lake Michigan.

Blago's ties to convicted felon Antoin "Tony" Rezko are at the root of his troubles.

CBS 2 Chicago has more:

Gov. Rod Blagojevich is blaming the nation's financial meltdown for his dismal standing among Illinois voters.

Blagojevich is getting angry, saying voters are blaming all politicians. He thinks his legal troubles have nothing to do with it.

CBS 2's Mike Parker reports those troubles with the federal government seem to get more complex by the day. The latest wrinkle has the U.S. Attorney going after financial records of Blagojevich pal and lobbyist John Wyma. Then there's the interest by the feds into the real estate dealings between the governor's wife, Patti, and those seeking state contracts.

The governor was barraged by reporters about all those things Friday when talked about his 13 percent approval rating.
