POLL: Illinois or New York? Where is the best place for...

(1/2) > >>

Orange-SkyVolFan:
POLITICAL CORRUPTION?  Gee, those two states have it going on.  Who can keep up with the sleeze?   /Philly/

If you wanted to be a corrupt politician, where would you go?

If you were a tourist and wanted to visit corrupt politicians, where would you go?

Tough call.  I know Chicago has Blago and the 59th vote in Burress, not to mention Resco and to use a liberal left term, Tea Bagger Emanuel, but NYC has it beaten:

The Clinton's are HOFers.

Rangel has about 4 or 5 wannabees.

Spitizer, Patterson, and Massa are probably all going to receive pensions.

The Kennedy's have made a lot of money in Chicago, but it seems as if half the family has been installed or an attempt was made to install one of them in a NY political office.

I would have to give it to New York.

Dementia_Madness:
I would have voted Washington D.C.   if it was a choice, however I had to pick Illinois....though truthfully it is a tie.

MRM:
I would give New York a slight edge because anyone from anywhere can apparently and come in and run for one of their offices. (see Hillary, Harold Ford, and Caroline)

Dementia_Madness:
This is true.
