Blago and the wheechair
The Chicago Tribune is reporting Blagojevich intervened and rehired the layed-off paraplegic DNR employee.
Obviously it didn't look good for Blagojevich's DNR spokeswoman to be explaining why taking Arthur "Red" Burchyett's custom wheelchair made sense.
The original story had this paragraph:
If the Tribune is going to write this, don't they have to back it up with something more specific than the impression of the journalist and editor?
But how is Blagojevich viewed outside the Chicago Metro area? I've heard some people speculate that Downstate would be Blagojevich's base in the Democratic primary. Obviously Christi Parsons, the Trib reporter, thinks he's weak Downstate.
Insights?

The original story had this paragraph:
Blagojevich has long drawn the ire of Downstaters who complain that he pays little heed to the needs of their region and is too focused on the Chicago area.

Ouch!
I start a blog and the first post is a candidate promoting himself with a press release and the second post is heckling me.
I don't claim to have an encyclopedic knowledge of Rod Blagojevich. Hopefully people will feed me tips, Carl@CollectiveInterest.net.
Is there any group of Democratic insiders that Roddy B is popular with?
The answer to this question used to be, "Well, I assume the Mell organization is with him...." But, no more.
