Sparse turnout for guv

Posted in:

The one place where Governor Blagojevich is supposed to be popular is the suburbs. Either he has a terrible advance staff (not) or something is not going well out there.

Making his first public appearance in Elgin since being elected governor in 2002, Rod Blagojevich on Thursday night predicted Democrats will gain ground in the GOP stronghold of Kane County.

Given the paltry crowd of 70 people attending the event at The Centre of Elgin, it seemed apparent that Kane County Democrats have a long way to go before wrestling dominance away from the opposition party. [Snip]

The governor offered the Kane County Democrats help.

“I’ll endorse you if that would help you,” Blagojevich told the crowd. “I’ll endorse your opponent if that would help.”

In many parts of the state, the punchline of that joke would be taken seriously.
