Actually, the header says "model for Democratic agenda" which is different from model for Democratic politics. Brian Schweitzer and the Montana Democrats might be the better model for politics-- populist, anti-corporate and energetic.
But the Illinois legislature has passed a lot of laws that should be a model for issues for Dems to run on nationally.
-Doesn't it matter to you that ll Illinois politicians -(except, apparently, Barak Obama and maybe Congressmen -Danny Davis) belong behind bars?
If they did serious harm to other people, sure they should be behind bars. But from the reports I've seen, most of the accusations against Blojovich are over some abuse of patronage hiring, not a crime that outweighs trying to provide health care for hundreds of thousands of children.
