Blago loses a squeaker

January 30, 2009

Rod Blagojevich lost a close conviction vote yesterday in the Illinois Senate, being voted out of office by a slim 59-vote margin. The total vote was 0-59. In his defense, that's closer than the current margin in the Minnesota Senate race or the electoral college margin in the recent presidential race.

It also is progress for Mr. Blagojevich, in a way. The last time we covered an Illinois legislative vote in which he was involved, he lost 0-107.
