The Democratic takeover in Illinois in 2002 had very little to do with personal values. Many will say it was a vote for getting rid of corruption...yada...yada. I see it as basically a vote for not being identified with known corruption...as corruption is rife in Illinois politics. Most of us don't aim to pretend that either party is anywhere close to being free of it.
Thankfully, for us, however, we suddenly do have a powerful pulpit to spread Democratic values and ideals...and a whole lot of incumbents to run for re-election instead of trying to get the incumbents out.
