Well seems my dear governor of Illinois Pat Quinn has enough time on his hands to make bets on football games with other governors. I love the NFL, and some might find this humorous. But shouldn't the politics be more worried about being governors rather than gamblers  uglystupid2 uglystupid2 uglystupid2 IMHO

Perhaps this is why our former governors,Rod Blasonofabitch sorry ment Blagojevich, and George Ryan are watching there backs when they drop the soap.  Grin

Bush had time for the ranch, Obama has time for basketball and golf with the governor of Ohio, a little state pride or fun isn't a crime.  Gambling.....  Hmmmm, well maybe.  I don't see alot wrong with it, unless it's taking up all his time.  I think they should have a life not unlike our own.

I think it is the lie, cheat and steal mentality that is offensive...not the gambling.

Publicity stunt.  I didn't see "money" involved.  Our Pittsburgh Mayor has had quite a few similar bets of wearing this or that while doing this or that in the city of the opposing team for some of the Steelers games.  I think most do it too.
