Illinois

I'm at the NRA Board meetings, and last night talked with some Illinois activists, and the conversation turned to their former governor Blago. The consensus was that the jury hung 11-1 for conviction because he only bought one juror. He apparently kept two governor's limos at the capitol. He came in in the morning in one that parked in the space marked for the governor. A few minutes later he sneaked out to the other one and went back to campaign headquarters or wherever else he really wanted to be. That way it looked as if he was putting in long hours on official business, when he was doing anything but.
