Michael on Blagojevich
The following was posted in an Archpundit thread about challenging incumbents in the primary.
Are you a Democratic leaner? A hard Democrat?
Do you want Blagojevich defeated in the primary?
Why?
Is Blagojevich bad for the Dems?
I would prefer a Democrat beat Blagojevich in the primary, but if the governor wins the primary, I'll vote for the Republican in the general election. Blagojevich is a rampaging disaster for the Democratic party and the state of Illinois. He must be defeated if we want to have a decent economy, a viable education system, and a living state university system.

George Will wrote about Blagojevich, but it's commonly known facts buttressed with pedestrian insights.
I never voted for a Republican until Blagojevich began to show his true colors, and now I support my (Republican) state rep and senator as a way of blocking him. He cares nothing for the state, and would destroy it if it would help his political ambitions. I'm a Democrat, but I'm not so partisan that I don't recognize that Blagojevich is without principle, and that his disastrous economic policies will hurt the Democratic party, because they will lead Illinois into bankruptcy. Any Democrat who supports him is a fool. Put it this way: if Alan Keyes were the Republican nominee, I wouldn't vote for him, but I'd still not vote for Blagojevich.
Alan Keyes would be entertaining.
Why do you consider yourself a Democrat? What sort of Dem would have to beat Blagojevich for you to become a Dem again?
Are you concerned about Bush's policies being self-serving and short-sighted too?
Blagojevich and Bush have something in common: they mistake their ideas for principles. If you define "Democrat" as someone who votes exclusively for Democrats, then we're going to disagree. I will not vote for a Republican at the national level because doing so is dangerous to the nation. I will not vote for Blagojevich because doing so is dangerous to the state.
