It's with a heavy heart that I post tonight's Rod Blagojevich update. And I'm not the only one in Illinois with a frown. For the second season in a row, the Chicago Bears will not be part of the NFL playoffs. And to think two years ago, the Bears played in the Super Bowl. But by next September, the Bears will be back, and Blago will be gone.
And here are your Blago tidbits:

If Blago hadn't gotten busted, how
ReplyDeletemuch time would he have had left in
office? And how many times can
someone run for governor?
As for the Bears better luck next
ReplyDeleteyear.
Blago's second miserable term expires in January of 2011. It's believed that he was planning to run for a third term, only this time, he'd face serious opposition in the Democratic primary, probably Lisa Madigan (AG) or Alexi Giannoulias (state treasurer).
ReplyDeleteThey may run anyway. Well, not Blago.
As for Alexi, I can't see him winning again statewide, unless it's for reelection, or if he's unopposed for in a Dem primary. His family bank's Rezko ties will haunt him.
You keep forgetting that Blago might think that he can still win a primary in 2010. He also thought that he can avoid impeachment, an indictment by joining the US Senate himself and then run for President in 2016
ReplyDeleteEven if Blago could run for
ReplyDeletepresident of the U.S., no one would
vote for him.
It's time for a change in
ReplyDeleteSpringfield!
So much for the bears makin it to
ReplyDeletethe Superbowl this year. As you
pointed out, they did make it
there nearly ywo years ago. The
Bears blew it half way through
though.

ReplyDeleteTake a look and we think you’ll agree -- what we do to this Elvis classic is criminal!
