Your Candidate in 2016-Democrats

Other (Alexi Giannoulias, assuming he can obtain higher office)

but of those listed, Schweitzer.  Schweitzer was my #1 non-Mabus choice for Obama's VP and he's kinda charming

...and he doesn't end up in jail due to Rezko's ties to Broadway Bank.

Is that a possibility?  I hadn't heard of that, I assumed he was more or less clean since the Democratic Party in Illinois opposed him, and Obama's faction, the most clean faction of Democrats in Illinois [it's all relative] supported him.

Honestly, I'd support your governor, Paterson, in 2016 over everyone else, mostly for his sense of humor and economic moderatism (although his latest taxes show a strangely abnormal amount of political ignorance for a politician).

The "Once you go black, you don't go back" comment he made about himself running in 2016 won me over, even if it was in jest, simply for its brilliance and its balls

During the campaign, some of the Hillary Clinton-supporting websites were claiming that Rezko was about to rat out Alexi (who was a VP at Rezko's main bank, Broadway Bank, which I think also gave Barack Obama his home loan).  This was in part based on a blind item in Michael Sneed's Chicago Sun-Times column.

What Rezko was supposed to rat out the bank about is unclear, and it hasn't happen thus far.  But who knows?  It's Chicago, which gives New Jersey a run for its money in dirty politics.

Since when has Sneed been anything but Blago's blog?

Actually, anyone Sneed posts "sourced" articles against are probably the cleanest people in Chicago
