Only the Illinois Dem's could let a such an open sleazebag be their frontrunner for the primaries. Kind of shocked he didn't drop out awhile ago reading the summary of his scandals and that the Illinois establishment has stuck behind him, though I'll assume that's Madigan's doing.
It's Illinois, they're all open sleazebags.
Yeah, but I would have assumed that being caught on an audio recording trying to secure patronage from Blagojevich would have been a bridge too far even for Illinoisans.
It is for some of us. Unfortunately, when the opposition is split, a crappy candidate can win a race that he wouldn't ordinary (Paul LePage is a pretty good demonstration of this phenomenon)
