I was born and raised in the Chicago area (Palos Hills). I also lived in Palatine in 1997-2000. It's been 5 years since I left, but I STILL know Illinois politics better than Virginia and Iowa politics.
I remember when Blagojevich was first elected as the Congressman of the 5th Congressional District and ended its two years of Republican representation.
This politically hampered Blagojevich you talk about sounds NOTHING like the Blagojevich I remember. I remember him as the charismatic leader who was elected as the representative of the area where he had been delivering pizzas just a few years earlier. Now he's sounding like Gray Davis or George Pataki.
Any chance of a Democratic primary challenge? Remember that Carol Mosely Braun unseated Senator Alan Dixon in the 1992 primary. If Blagojevich is so unpopular, perhaps another Democrat can replace him, rather than let the Republicans rise from the dead and pick up a governor's seat.
