BLAGOJEVICH IMPEACHED: House Votes Against Governor 114-1

Not surprising news here. What is surprising is that one person did not vote to impeach:

During the House's 90-minute debate on impeachment, no one spoke up to defend the governor. But Rep. Milton Patterson, a Chicago Democrat, made the sole vote against impeaching Blagojevich.

Patterson said he read the impeachment committee's report and wasn't comfortable voting against the governor. "I have no firsthand knowledge of any of the evidence," he said.

"I went by my own gut feeling, it's as simple as that," he said. "I read the report. If the government is going to indict him, let them go ahead and do that. That's their job and I'm doing my job."

Huh? Your gut feeling told you that there was not enough evidence to impeach? Usually I say trust you gut, but Milton Patterson should never trust his gut again.
