I love how he gets 60 days to turn himself in...

Once the conviction comes through -- go straight to jail.

Whats the odds he gets pardoned by the guy whos very seat he was trying to sell. If Obama looses next year i would say 50/50. If Obama wins i give it 100%, most likely happening at the very end of his second term.

Okay, now I'm caught up. In fact I feel stupid for not remembering that in the first place as a bell went off as soon as I read your post. But did all 20 counts come from the Obama Senate Seat?

Blago was convicted for more than just Obama's seat. He also was sentenced for using his position both to coerce campaign donations beyond the Obama fiasco and to gain jobs for himself and family members. He was already well-corrupted before the Obama thing came along.
