Silent Treatment Between Quinn and Blagojevich
I guess at this point I should no longer be surprised by anything related to Rod Blagojevich, but this line in this morning's Washington Post seemed remarkable to me (emphasis mine):
Quinn, who has not spoken with Blagojevich since August 2007, would become governor if Blagojevich stepped down or were removed.Blagojevich and Lt. Gov. Pat Quinn were elected on a ticket together in November 2006. Sure, they had a falling out, but they haven't even talked to each other for the last 15 months? They never spoke to try to patch things up? Or just to curse at one another?

GOVERNING Politics is the place for news and analysis on campaigns and elections. If there's a ballot measure in California, a legislative election in Alabama, a mayoral election in Anchorage or a governor's race in Rhode Island, GOVERNING Politics probably is writing about it. We love everything about state and local politics, from polls and campaign ads to policy debates and demographic trends.
