I remember when Ryan ran for governor. The Chicago Tribune ran some articles that detailed the corruption that eventually took him out, and yet still people voted for him. I voted for the downstate Democratic candidate in that race (I forget his name). Blagojevich is just as bad. City politics is even worse. I fondly remember Peter Fitzgerald (who was, by the way, railroaded by the Republicans who couldn't stand having a non-RINO in the Senate). The best thing he did was to appoint Patrick Fitzgerald (no relation) who has actually done some good in rooting out corruption in the state. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Fitzgerald The first thing I said when I heard Obama was running was that no Chicago politician (or Illinois politician) was clean enough to get elected President.
