I actually think it’s more people analyzing every move by Fitzgerald before the election–the press wanted Blagojevich to go down and that was largely the only hope. Now that it isn’t a critical period, it goes back to background noise.

And the press was out of Springfield which leads to less rumor chasing.

Anyone think of giving some credit to…um…what’s his name again…Oh yeah, Obama.

On another note, if I may play the Devil’s advocate…for all the hype of Fitzgerald’s lack of partisan politics, does it or does it not seem the Feds were awfully active before the November 7 elections, and have been silent as a church mouse since? Thoughts?
