^Don't worry, this situation will be rectified in about 2 months. 
Of course it's not all his fault, but Blago has got to be the worst governor in the country. And yet, he still thinks he can run again in 2010. He can run again with an approval rating that the Chicago Tribune (or Sun Times, one of those papers) put at 13%. To put that in perspective, that is half that of President Bush.

A young, inexperienced liberal lawyer/politician who: achieved premature political prominence by being in the right place at the right time, capitalizing on a major scandal(s) to make a name for himself; won election, primarily because of the unpopularity of the previous officeholder; widely celebrated as representing a new type of politician and the next generation of leadership, while at the same time being viewed as secretive and aloof; promised change and the restoration of faith in government; is a product of the Chicago political machine; his fund-raising buddies include Tony Rezko, Stuart Levine, and William Cellini; father was not born in America; has a funny name; and last, but certainly not least...

Blago is probably the only politician who looks at Dubya's approval ratings with envy. Oh to reach 26%!
