"You are technically right, but he won as a Republican and governed as a democrat."

Bingo. Ryan snowed the Pubs in this state who voted for him, even though many had reservations about him, and then turned on the Pubs once in office. He was a Dem in disguise. And a total Party hack. Then he did away with the death sentence in this state, largely, I believe, to deflect attention from his own illegal activities (as he was starting to be investigated at the time he did away w/the death sentence). Another crooked Illinois governor. We have more than our fair share in this state. Jail seems like a real good place for Ryan to be shipped off to. Hack.

I will pray for his good health since he is 72. I hope he lives long enough so he doesn't die before he goes to prison. He deserves whatever they give him for the pain and suffering he inflicted on the victims of all those animals he let off death row.

P.S. This is the death sentence (pardon the pun) for Judy Barr Topinka's run for Governor on the Republican Party ticket. Topinka was a crony of George Ryan, and they've got videos that were already used in the primary that she won, of her polka dancing w/Ryan. That visual will be used over and over by the Dems who will link her continuously with the "convicted felon" Ryan. Kiss her chances of winning goodbye.

And thanks, stupid Pubs in Illinois that voted for Topinka instead of Jim Oberweiss in the primary, knowing that if Ryan were convicted, she would be tarred with his scandal by virtue of her having been one of his buddies. And thanks Mr. Brady from Downstate, who jumped in as a conservative alternative to Oberweiss in this state, serving as a stalking horse against Oberweiss, and thus throwing the election to Topinka by splitting the vote and throwing the margin of victory to her. You reap what you sew, and meanwhile Illinois suffers and another crooked Governor, Democrat Rod Blagojevich, also under investigation for illegal dealings, will thus be re-elected. Sickening.
