It looks like change is coming to Illinois, too. Lt. Governor Pat Quinn, who will succeed Governor Blagojevich after he resigns or more likely is impeached, is described as a maverick and a reformer. He appears to be cut from the same cloth as US Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald.

a maverick and a reformer
After this past November, these terms have a greatly diminished meaning.

Yes. It's easy to claim to be a maverick and a reformer. And the terms have popular appeal (Blagojevich ran for governor as a "reformer" and won). But in this case the description of Quinn comes from a government watchdog. Also, the fact that Quinn and Blagojevich haven't spoken since August 2007 suggests Quinn is squeaky clean. And he actually has a long track record of advocating for the public interest in addition to his public service.

Obviously, Audaciously Hopeful is not very familiar with Illinois politics, says this ex-Chicago resident.
