It was no big shock he turned out to be as bad as many of the rest of them.

And this should explain my lack of confidence in Obama, especially since he got his political experience in this state. 'Nuff said.

I don't see how that should have any bearing on Obama's competence or ability in politics. Just because Illinois has a few corrupt politicians means all of them are? And what does Blagojevich being Democrat have to do with anything? This topic just seems to be a form of Obama-bashing.
