Not a pretty story in Illinios.
Rod Blagojevich, the Democrat, who while in congress, proposed a 50 cal. rifle ban, supports "ballistic fingerprinting" among many other anti-gun things, has been elected governor.
The attorney general's office has gone to Lisa Madigan who is as anti-gun owner as one gets. In her "victory" speech minutes ago, she mentions "sensible gun laws" several times and her website has gun control at the top of all issues listed. [:(]
Bad, bad things are happening here, and the next four years are likely to be hell for gun owners.
The way these people got elected: They did the Bill Clinton thing; just talk about the economy, jobs, education, senior citizens, and children. Don't talk about guns or taxes.
IT WORKED! They successfully conned union members and women.
Forgot to mention, Clinton advisor Rahm Emanuel, also won a seat in the state house.
