It’s the day after Barack Obama’s election as president. On a secretly recorded tape, Blagojevich is musing about what might have been. He asks political adviser Doug Scofield, “There’s nothing I could have done, right? I could have worked my ass off, hired Axelrod, and I would have been just one more white guy in Iowa.”
Scofield, acting more as therapist than political adviser, tells the unhappy Blagojevich, “It was a crazy combination of timing, fate, and luck.”
Blagojevich then goes back and forth, saying at one point, “I feel like I’ve failed” and at another, “I’m happy being governor.” “Now,” says Blagojevich, “I just have to take a bad thing and figure out what to do with this.”
Scofield tells the jury that Blagojevich began talking more and more about appointing himself to the Senate seat.
Again, your writing is most likely out of context. Written in such a way as to make Blagojevich look needy and desperate.
This is slanderous writing.
Chicago media has a monopoly on trying to make Blagojevich look bad.
East Berlin North Korea Chicago. They all try to suffocate the truth from the masses.
Phil Ponce don’t let them take you with them. You’re better than that.
Nobody does a better job at making Blago look bad than Blago himself. He sounded needy and desperate on the tapes and the description was accurate. The truth is this guy is guilty and we hear it from his own mouth.
Please tell me with your best guess, what was the total amount of money raised in Blagojevich’s political war chest that he wanted to use towards running for president himself?
Better yet,what was the total amount when he ran against Lisa Madigan.
How was he able to raise so much money?
