Head to Illinoize instead.

But I just had to post this tidbit:

In a bit of topsy-turvy politics, Bush touted the health of the state’s economy by echoing Blagojevich in noting the state led the nation for job creation in April. And Bush’s 2004 presidential opponent, U.S. Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), appeared to side with Topinka’s criticism of the Democratic governor on the issue of job creation.

“The president praises the optimism of Illinois businesses, yet more of the state’s businesses closed their doors in 2004 than new businesses were opened,” Kerry said in a statement.
