#1 Probably Blagojevich wants something in return for resigning, oh say for example, appointment to an endowed chair at the U of Ill at Chicago.

#3 This announcement of his tomorrow could be the appointment.

I sent an my resume via email last week and politely pointed out that no real politician wants a tainted appointment, so I'm prolly the best he can get.

Cross your finners ladies and gentlepersons, with any luck, in January ima be in DC representin' the Burg!

#8 Read something this morning which struck to the heart of the matter. Author asserted that Blago's publicity explosion is akin to being at a grand ball and watching one of the tuxedoed guests head for the refreshment table, drop his drawers and shit in the punchbowl. Ha! Right on target. Enjoy the ball Bambalooza !

#9 Ima guessing that resignation and who he rats out to the feds are the only cards he has left. Plus he gets to stay on top of the news cycle. Mmmm, publicity!

#10 From Steven Green at VodkaPundit.
"Ill tell you why the Democrats (and their enablers in the MSM) are trying to convince people that Blago is insane. Its the same reason the Soviets used to put dissidents in the looney bin: anyone who doesnt toe the party line is obviously insane, and should be dealt with accordingly. In this case, the party line is that the Democrats are all angels and only Republicans can be evil."
