    Pat Quinn was championing the recent effort to pass the Constitutional Convention on the November 4th ballot (failed, unfortunately), the primary feature of which was to enable the voters to recall a failed Governor. And that failed Governor is _________. Quinn is an elected Illinois democrat, but his electoral popularity is based on his tax and consumer utility reform efforts. The thing about Quinn is that he stood to gain by the removal of Gov. ______.
    The question is, what did Pat Quinn know of the corruption and when did he know it. He says that he hasn’t talked to Gov ___________ for a year and a half. That is not surprising at all, seeing as how The Lt. Gov. had been openly trying to get Gov ___________ out of office.

    I found it fascinating how the Springfield democrats were avoiding Gov ______ like the plague, but we mushrooms did not know what was really going on, other than what the crusading Chicago columnists (primarily John Kass) could dig up.

    Some say Quinn could have come out in 2006 to prevent Blago’s reelection. He didn’t.
