Can i add my two cents about Governor Blago! Lets be honest here...the man got voted out 59-0. This is my theory please let me know if you agree. Politics is the name of the game. politicians specailize in WIIFM ( Whats In It For Me). The only reason Blago got vote out is because he was caught on tape. It was no way he could beat this and he new it....as well as all his colleagues. You are a cheater  only if you get caught.....and he got caught to the point where nobody in the assembly would support him because they would not be able to explain the supportive measure to thier constituents ( by lletting this guy off the hook. I think they wanted to let him skate by, but their hands were tied. Im guessing his lawyer and everyone told him he could speak during the closing of the trail but , really, dont waste time bringing witnesses because it was a loss cause.  He knew the rules of the game and got caught and publically had to be made an example of.  as a  iReporter......this is just my rant......interested in yours...thanks for reading this.
