In 
this April 17, 2006, file photo, former Illinois Gov. George Ryan leaves 
Chicago's federal courthouse following his conviction on all 22 counts of 
racketeering and fraud charges. Both Ryan and more recently former 
Gov. Rod Blagojevich have been convicted of criminal charges. Is there something 
about Illinois that encourages governors to go bad? Or is it just coincidence 
that two in a row have ended up as felons?
