And Topinka is the only George Ryan stooge who hasn't been indicted. Man Illinois knows how to pick them. The fact that Topinka is against the assault weapons ban may be enough to get to the polls, shouldn't take much I live in the same building as the polling place.

LOL, Gradient. My take is this. Blago will probably eke it out if not indicted. This will hurt the DEMS on the down ticket and Congressional races. Topinka might get some more $$$ from the RNC to run Negative ads now on Blago, her one on how Rod's daughter got a 1500 check for her birthday from a state employee is great.

Hate to differ. More corrupt than Topinka and not yet indicted are Kjellander, Daniels, Celini, Savianno and others closer to George Lyan.

Topinka was only on the fringes of corruption until 2001 at which time she was forced to consciously make a choice between corruption and anti-corruption and she consciously chose to side with corruption. Before that, she had a foot on each side of the fence.

I don't trust her. Blagojevich was an improvement over Ryan, and I'm not sure JBT wouldn't be a step back. I intend to write-in for Randy Stufflebeam as a vote of non-approval for both candidates.
