succession falls?

1. Yes he is. Is it me or do any of you see Karl Rove's greasy fingerprints on this one?

First, Don Siegelman, the demoratic governor of Alabama.
Now, Blagojevich (AND his chief of staff), democratic governor of Illinois.

5. Nope, just Blago's scummy hands.

10. What a shame for so many people.

If we're both correct, he played into Rove's hands.

[tritsofme]

15. Rove had nothing to do with it.

Hes just a corrupt asshole.

7. Yes, of course. It's the most corrupt US Justice department in history.

They're tools of the GOP, so there's literally no reason to believe the federal prosecutors behind this action.

9. Patrick Fitzgerald is a tool of the GOP?

Interesting.

11. I'm Concerned Too, Bleachers7

Of course, i'm very distrustful of the justice department, but i'm not comfortable with the idea that a dirty Dem wouldn't simply be caught because he's dirty, and that it must be a conspiracy.

Those of us who live in IL have been suspicious for years. Don't you think?

12. Illinois DUers are cheering this on.

So I think this tells you all you need to know.

[ProfessorGAC]

14. Yeah, I Know

We're agreeing. In case my last post wasn't clear. I don't think it's a conspiracy, no matter how corrupt Justice is. Blago just seems like someone who would do this.

8. Yes, it's all a big conspiracy.

13. Karl Rove should not be confused with God

Not every bad thing that happens to Democrats is the doing of Karl Rove. He's not the anti-Santa. He's not the anti-Clenis.

2. Pat Quinn--great human! (Don't know the succession line yet.) nt

3. Every statewide office is held by a Democrat in IL

Pat Quinn is Lt Governor, and he really is a great guy.

4. Pat Quinn is a Democrat
