I am nominating this for featured article because this article has been through WP:GAC and WP:PR. In addition it has endured extensive public scrutiny due to recent scandal. The article represents a synthesis of all exposure in The New York Times, Time, Newsweek, U.S. News & World Report, USA Today, Harper's, and Atlantic Monthly prior to the Rod Blagojevich corruption charges scandal and a good summary of his involvement in the scandal.

Strong oppose by karanacs. I'll echo Ealdgyth's comments above - it is a little demoralizing as a reviewer to realize that the issues I found in this article parrot the issues I've seen in some of your other biographies. It makes me feel like you aren't paying attention at all to the comments you receive in your many nominations. Please take the constructive criticism you are offered to heart, and please try to get these types of issues fixed in your future articles before you nominate them. Otherwise you are wasting our time as reviewers. Essentially, the problems I see in this article are the exact same ones as the last one (the Buffalo mayor): the prose is not up to FA standards and the article is full of inconsequential detail.
