3. he needs an ass-kicking.
He probably is about to be indicted for bribes for jobs scandal. (his top officers had to donate 40K to his campaign in order to get the appointment.)

He has done everything with an eye for running a future presidential campaign - and I promise you that in a Illinois nomination race between Hillary, Clark, Dean, a dead toad, a petrified snail from the Paleozoic Era, a piece of Lasix-filled horse turd from Arlington Park Race Track, and Bloggo, I think the tightest race would be between the turd and Bloggo for last place.

He is the most unpopular gov I can recall, even more so than the guy who instituted state income taxes, even more than his GOP predecessor who is currently on trial for fraud, bribery and more.

Unfortunately, for the democratic party in Illinois, he also has strong-armed 20,000,000 in campaign funds - meaning that anyone who wants a real gov in office has to think twice.

What is really sad is how this came about. Here in Illinois, we have the house, the senate, the judiciary, AND Chicago. Yet, by any rational standard, having this Dem in office as governor has brought on nothing but petty spats and more trouble. He is more interested in headlines and self-promotion than doing the hard work that is sorely needed. He combs his hair more often than he checks on what his appointees are doing around the state. He has appointed some very untalented people who are best at pissing off the general population which cutting deals for friends. He looks more like Hastert and DeLay than a Dem.

The worst of it is, he will screw it up for our party even after the GOP self-destructed so thoroughly here. So sad, because there is so much to do.
