The whole thing is complicated. I am among those who think he has served too long in any case. Just as one example, I think Lisa Madigan would make a good governor -- but not as long as her father is Speaker and Dem Party Chairman. The immediate dust-up is that the state's major electric distribution utility got jobs for friends of his in hopes of influencing him. He says he knew nothing about it and there is so far no public evidence to contradict this claim. But several prominent Democrats, including the governor, are no longer in his camp.

I was surprised to learn that they are a starchy root vegetable, and were displaced from that role by introduction of the potato.
