As I was watching the coverage yesterday of Blagojevich's arrest, I couldn't help but notice how all of the national political pundits were utterly shocked and surprised (not to mention many Illinois politicians) by the
arrest of the governor. For most citizens this should come as no surprise. He has been under federal investigation for several years and has had several former aids indicted by federal authorities (
Tony Rezko comes to mind). Contrary to what many people in the nation believe, this is just politics as usual for Illinois. I've heard it said from classmates that this will allow for a clean slate in Illinois. Given the number of governors who have been arrested and put in jail in the past 30 years or so, I doubt that such a thing will happen.
