First, a good description of why we have Blogo (http://www.talkingpointsmem o.com/archives/247599.php):

Everything I've heard is completely consistent with PN's report, though that does beg the question of how this goof got elected and reelected in the first place.

Actual Substance Update: The answer seems to be that he faced two extraordinarily weak Republican candidates -- though weak for different reasons. So it was really winning the primary in 2002 and that was because of a divided field and because he was a consummate fundraiser -- surprise, surprise.

Next, we need some of this in Illinois (http://www.dailykos.com/sto ryonly/2008/12/10/17552/510 /1023/671232):

KopBusters rented a house in Odessa, Texas and began growing two small Christmas trees under a grow light similar to those used for growing marijuana.
...
The trap was set and less than 24 hours later, the Odessa narcotics unit raided the house only to find KopBuster's attorney waiting under a system of complex gadgetry and spy cameras that streamed online to the KopBuster's secret mobile office nearby.
