Some of the Blagojevich supporters (apparently state employees) were gathering signatures for Stufflebeam. Most disturbingly, it didn’t help. Remember the Blagojevich staff posting pro-Oberweis comments?

I agree with Rich–you get on the ballot, you get coverage in Illinois. It’s an impressive effort. Congrats to the Greens. If they don’t get knocked off.
Everyone looks at the Governor’s poll numbers and insist he is going to lose. He’s certainly vulnerable, but the playbook is right out of the Gray Davis reelection campaign and while not very popular, Davis suffered from some of the same problems Blagojevich does with big money donors receiving favorable treatment.
