Blag will probably take two terms (the first 'Rat since the paragon of ethics Otto Kerner to do so). He can count on the continuing meltdown of the state GOP. What a shame. I love Alan Keyes, dearly (I voted for him in the '00 Prez primary), but he probably shouldn't have allowed himself to get dragged into the IL mess.
The more i think about it, the more I think that if Keyes loses, he ought to stick around and build momentum for a run at Governor B or Dick Durbin in 2006. If Jessie Ventura can be a governor....
