Red rover, red rover, send Blago away!

Despite the plethora of funny youtube clips featuring Blagojevich, I think we all need a little break from his voice right now, so this picture should do. It's not just me, Democrats are also eager to see Blago disappear from the radar since his presence will be much ado for the Republicans to capitalize on in the 2010 elections. They couldn't ask for better timing. This is where name recognition bites politicians in the butt. Voters remember corrupt politicians- especially ones who won't...stop...doing....tv....interviews. So will the stigma rub off on Dem's competing for the Illinois Senate seat in 2010? If Burris runs in 2010 there's no way he'll win the seat, and I'm guessing he's not saying whether or not he's running yet so he can get a feel for public opinion and to maybe do some good things in the seat to sway some people over to his side before everyone completely writes him off. Good luck Burris- you'll need some serious elbow grease to clean away the Blagojevich stench. I don't think Illinois will swing right just yet; I think most realize that corruption is not a Democratic trend, rather it is usually isolated within bad individuals and groups of those individuals. A way to avoid all those bad apples? How does Sen. Winfrey (D-Ill) sound?



Wow- nothing gets to this guy.
