Romney Fever

Republicans have a fever, and the only prescription is more Mitt Romney!

Romney had an overwhelming win in the Illinois primary last night. If that wasn’t enough momentum, former Florida governor Jeb Bush then officially endorsed Romney, putting more establishment weight behind the GOP front-runner.

Blagojevich Cartoons

Former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, who famously tried to sell the Senate seat vacated by Barack Obama, was found guilty on 17 of 20 federal corruption charges, and faces up to 300 years behind bars. Interestingly, Blagojevich becomes the second straight Illinois governor convicted of corruption. His predecessor, George Ryan, is now serving 6 1/2 years in federal prison.
