IL-Gov: Blagojevich Wins
The AP has called the Illinois governors' race for incumbent Democrat Rod Blagojevich, making him a leading candidate for the Gray Davis Award for most wildly unpopular governor who gets reelected (note, however, that there's no recall law in Illinois). It's still earlier, but I have to wonder whether it could be a bad night for incumbents in federal elections and a great night for incumbent governors.

Written and compiled by staff writers and editors, GOVERNING View is an on-the-ground, and sometimes behind-the-scenes, look at the topics we're covering in print and online. From notes on what's up in statehouses, county courthouses and city halls, to encounters with people, places and things, GOVERNING View is a window into the side of state and local government you don't always see.
