Front runners

Don't know why this news doesn't cheer me as much as it should.

It would appear that the Blago-Topinka race is officially on, according to the Tribune.
Gov. Rod Blagojevich holds a better than three-to-one advantage over his lesser-known primary challenger while Judy Baar Topinka holds a sizable edge over a crowded field seeking the Republican nomination for governor, a new Tribune/WGN-TV poll shows.
(Contrary to reports elsewhere, the poll is doesn't speculate on who may be leading between Blago and Topinka in the predicted general election). So, what we're faced with for most of the rest of the year is a race between an ethics-challenged incumbent Democrat versus an unindicted George Ryan protegee Republican. What a choice.

Imagine my enthusiasm.

I may vote for Andy Martin-Trigona in the primary, just out of protest.

And so it goes.
