This is such a disappointment.

I wanted him to run and get his ass handed to him.

Hmmm ... I wonder how many dollars and/or other goodies changed hands before this decision was made.

King Richard knew that even Chicago’s famous voter fraud machine would not have been enough. Maybe his regime will actually begin enforcing the law against black gangs now that their votes will not be needed to extend his reign.

This is not good. The Rahmster is waiting in the wings and the goofs in Chicago will elect him. The most corrupt city will continue the march. All the patsie committeedorks will be hitting the bricks hard. Probably already have.

Even though I live here, I can't stand the place. But too old and broke to get out of Dodge.

That’s a good way for Rahm to get out of the Whitehouse.

He was going to have a tough election. But his wife is also having a lot of problems with a recurrence of cancer. That probably had a lot to do with it.

This is Illinois after all, do you think it really matters?
He was a Congressman.

Blago is on a roll, may be a way to keep him quiet but kind of think he will be ‘swimming with the fishes’ before long.
