Illinois governor cleans house after budget showdown

8. I think Pritzker will be the nominee.

I would prefer Kennedy, but I like Pritzker too.

My son is starting to get on my last nerve. He is a Democrat, but he lives in a wealthy suburb. He talks to repiggies all the time. They have him convinced that The Ruiner will be the governor, or another repiggie will step in and buy the election. I don't see it, not in this climate. He thinks I am wrong about everything because I talk mostly to Democrats at the local and state level. He thinks I am wrong because I did not think Blagojevich would be retried after his first trial failed.

I am so sick of republicans. I think most other Illinois residents feel the same way I do. I think we will gain the governor's office and a few other seats, too.
