Well basically that's true. Mainly all the counties in downstate Illinois voted for the republican Judy Barr Tapinka, but as you said the always liberal chicago and her suburbs voted him in. |
Party poltics outweigh corruption... it's just that sad.
I mean look at Ted Stevens.
This makes two consecutive Illinois Governors headin to the slammer, and four in the last 35 years. We sure know ow to vote.
I guess that makes Obama the only honest Chicago politician, or is that even possible?
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.

If Obama is clean, he is the only politician from Illinois that is.
Obama told reporters, "I had no contact with the governor or his office, so I was not aware of what was happening," clearly distancing himself from his home state and its governor, whom he previously had endorsed for re-election.
But Tapper noted Obama's senior adviser, David Axelrod, appeared "said something quite different" in an interview Nov. 23 with Chicago's Fox affiliate.
"While insisting that the president-elect had not expressed a favorite to replace him, and his inclination was to avoid being a 'kingmaker,'" Axelrod said, "I know he's talked to the governor and there are a whole range of names many of which have surfaced, and I think he has a fondness for a lot of them."
Someone tipped Obama off.

The article i read said he offered Obama to pick the senator to replace him for a post in his cabinent... and Obama didn't tell anyone about it.
