One of the scary things is that with all of the strikes against him, he still got about 20% of the vote. A landslide by any stretch of the imagination, but there were still 1 in 5 that voted for him after he made some statements so outlandish that even the theocons thought he was nuts.
Blago is going to have an uphill fight to stay in his job, but he's still the odd's on favorite for now. There's a civil war being silently fought in the Republican trenches here, and the Chicago Democratic machine is taking every advantage that they can find. The state election in 2002 was one of the biggest ass-spankings anywhere at any time. Obviously, there's no way that the Democrats can have that kind of success again, but the state government is going to be controlled by them for a good time yet to come just from the residuals of that landslide.
