<<Carol did not, however, win re-election because she did not perform her job well enough and because of supposed "scandal". >>

I am also from Illinois and remember her second run. She was down 300k votes with 325k votes to be counted and wouldn't concede.

The real scandal was her first run when she was elected. Or rather two scandals. She loaded up her office with her friends before quitting to run for the Senate. The other was getting her mother into a nursing home, taxpayer paying the ticket, and then she sold her mother's timber ground in the South and pocketed the money. I remember the Illinois Attorney General saying what she had done was illegal but to charge her, and it was a pure 100% easy case to convict, would be unfair during her campaign. Didn't get charged after either. That woman is made of Teflon.
