Considering Blagoevich's good friend and top fundraiser was Federall Indicted today , I do not think Ethics is a good issue for the Gov.
Topinka is the epitome of all that is wrong with the Illinois Republican Party. I'll write in Randy Stufflebeam for gov and vote Republican downticket.
The current boy governor of Illinois, Rod Blago, took $1500 from the husband of a woman who failed the state employment test. She was later quoted in the Tribune as saying she hated Blago and that he'd ruined her life
Check out this ad by Blago's opponet, Judy Barr Topinka. Very entertaining:

How could they possibly clash over ethics when neither of them knows what it is?
"Gun control is being pushed again."
It plays well in NE IL. I grew up close to there and Chicagoans & suburbanites have a pathological fear/hatred of firearms. Personally, when it gets to it, I want to be able to defend my family effectively, not make a political statement. And dialing 9-1-1 isn't defending my family effectively when it hits the fan.
