Will scandal-plagued Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich step down or be forced out of office? How long will lawmakers and other state officials give him to leave willingly? How is the governor’s track record with the legislature working against any hope of him staying in office? Is this scandal seen just as the latest corruption in Illinois politics or is this story even shocking longtime observers of Chicago-style politics? And have we seen the worst charges that will be presented against Gov. Blagojevich or are many more coming down the pike? We ask Bernie Schoenberg, political writer and columnist for the State Journal-Register in the state capital of Springfield, Illinois.
