I am taken aback by the inherent personality defects of Ohio folk vs Illini ...
WYSIWYG .....

We're not cherry picking this either....as if the entire state is populated by the South Bronx.

Early career[edit]

Prosecutor[edit]

Blagojevich clerked for Chicago Alderman Edward Vrdolyak.[20] Blagojevich then took a job as Cook County Assistant State's Attorney (assistant prosecutor) under State's Attorney Richard M. Daley,[20] specializing in domestic abuse, crimes, and felony weapons cases.[21][22]

State and federal legislator[edit]

In 1992, with the backing of his influential father-in-law, Blagojevich toppled 14-year incumbent Myron Kulas in the Democratic primary for the 33rd state house district, which includes part of Chicago's North Side. As is the case in most elections in the Chicago area, this virtually assured him of election in November.[20][23] He drew on his experiences as a prosecutor to draft bills that he argued would strengthen the state's judicial system and reduce crime.

In 1996, Blagojevich surrendered his seat in the state house to campaign in Illinois's 5th congressional district, based on the North Side. The district had long been represented by

Rostenkowski was defeated for re-election in 1994 after pleading guilty to mail fraud


and had been succeeded by Republican Michael Patrick Flanagan. However, Flanagan was a conservative Republican representing a heavily Democratic district, and was regarded as a heavy underdog. Blagojevich soundly defeated Flanagan by a nearly 2-to-1 margin, with support from his father-in-law. He was elected two more times, taking 74% against a nominal Republican challenger in 1998 and having only a Libertarian opponent in 2000.

note that Blago was an amateur boxer..
