Long (above-guideline) sentence for state senator

This AP story reports on a high-profile federal sentencing in a political corruption case from Georgia.  (The White Collar Crime Prof Blog has background on the case in this post.)  Here are highlights from the report:

Former state Sen. Charles Walker was sentenced to more than 10 years in federal prison on Tuesday. Judge Dudley Bowen Jr. sentenced the senator to serve 121 months in prison for tax evasion, mail fraud and conspiracy. The judge chose to lengthen Walker’s sentence beyond federal guidelines as a “deterrent for others who might be similarly inclined.”

I wonder if this long (above-guideline) sentence might set some sort of a record in political corruption cases.  I also wonder if the many other politicians in trouble these days are taking note.
