I was wrong with my speculation McDonnell would only spend a year in jail.

J/K ....Most guys and gals here are too smart to fall for a suckers bet.
Ex Va. Governor Bob McDonnell will face sentencing tomorrow for accepting $177,000 in loans, gifts and luxury vacations he received while Governor, from a friend/businessman, marketing a dietary supplement.
McDonnell could receive twenty years prison.
I expect a sentence of ten years with nine suspended, along with a few thousand hours of community service upon his release.

Similar to ex Governor McDonnell, Senator Menendez accepted personal gifts from a friendly wealthy political donor.
After an ethics complaint, Menendez quickly paid back $58,500 for the two trips.
http://www.nj.com/politics/index.ssf/2013/02/menendez_and_melgen_an_inside.html Anyone care to speculate how much time McDonnell will receive at sentencing tomorrow?
Anyone believe Senator Menendez will face trial for his corrupt practices ?
