To have a former gezegde

 To have a former governor on trial is a big deal even for Illinois. It just reinforces what is a very cynical attitude among Illinois citizens about politics and politicians. Our expectations and our standards are pretty low. Our politicians try very hard to live up to those low standards.

 This election is about the democrats enhancing a significant lead in Illinois politics with potential long-term ramifications. And it's about Republicans trying to do what they can to stay in existence, and serious contenders in Illinois state politics.

 The Governor has had four years to clean up pay-to-play politics in Illinois. He hasn't done it. The U.S. Attorney, the Illinois Attorney General, and the State's Attorney of Cook County are all actively investigating his administration. Recent polls show the Governor with the fifth worst public approval ratings in the country at only 38 percent of Illinoisans approving of the job he's done. The same polls have him losing the general election to the Republicans.

 Housing in general is a much better value in Illinois than it is in Missouri. Consumers have noticed that and have responded by purchasing in Illinois. Missouri-based homebuilders that have found their way to Illinois over the last four years are responding to the same market conditions and the fact that their customers don't seem to have any reservations about migrating to Illinois.

 Only two viable candidates for Governor in the Illinois Primary hold a strong position on the government's role in protecting and advancing the cause of life in Illinois.

 In fact, for Illinois to have equaled New Mexico's sweet deal -- $2 back for every $1 it paid in federal taxes -- Washington would have to funnel 20 percent of all federally appropriated dollars to Illinois, an impossible amount. The only hope for rapid improvement in Illinois' ratio would be a fundamental tax reform that flattened federal income tax rates.

 I think a lot of it is just politicians playing politics in an election year, but at the end of the day I think you'll see the deal go through. This is the year 2000 and that means we live in a global telecommunications industry. So if the United States wants to participate in that, then they'll let this deal go through.

 The neat thing for this game is we didn't get all excited that we were beating Illinois. We play the same way no matter if it's Illinois or Illinois State or anyone else.

 For me, it's definitely personally a very tough decision. But it's a decision I think had to be made. ... We have high standards here, high standards are set and I think we have to work hard to live up to those standards.

 Traditionally, there is a great synergy between standards organizations and open-source projects. Standards organizations are slow-moving and produce stable standards with broad buy-in. The risk with standards is that they are academic and not practical. Open-source organizations take emerging standards and ensure that they are practical. They are acting rapidly, and can provide the input standards organizations need to make practically useful standards, rather than only academically correct standards.

 I don't want to compromise the personal narrative for the overarching abstract generalizations about the United States as a whole, ... That's a real conflict in my vision. I think sometimes [ Illinois ] is a little unbalanced, where its affiliation with Illinois historically is compromised for the sake of the stories. And I think it's better to do that, anyway. I'm more comfortable with storytelling than I am with history or politics.

 The politicians of New York have everything that is necessary to make proper decisions and they will have to live with what happens afterwards. The worst scenario is the politicians covering their eyes and turning it over to the FBI.

 If we meet an honest and intelligent politician, a dozen, a hundred, we say they aren't like politicians at all, and our category of politicians stays unchanged; we know what politicians are like
