Tanks ... for the memories

I see in today's Tribune Gov. Blago's approval ratings are continuing to drop.

Perhaps even more troubling for Blagojevich, only one-third of voters say they want to see him re-elected next year while 45 percent say they don't, according to the poll.

Among the 1,200 likely voters surveyed, 35 percent said they approved of the job Blagojevich is doing as the state's chief executive, while 44 percent said they disapproved. Another 21 percent said they had no opinion.



Is anyone really surprised? Really?

I've felt all along Blago was simply a sacrificial lamb, stuck in Springfield as much by the GOP as the Dems to serve as a four-year lightning Rod. (Pun intended) I realy believe no one who served this term attempting to clean up the GOP's mess had any chance of winning a second term. It was a damned if you do damned if you don't situation. You can do it right and piss off just about everone, or you can do it wrong and piss off everyone.

And Blago's managed to piss off just about everyone.

And so it goes.
