* 3:32 pm - The revelation that the governor granted a pardon to the director of a school which “mistakenly” received a million dollar grant intended to rebuild the fire-ravaged Pilgrim Baptist Church, and that he had expunged the criminal record of another African-American woman shortly before she geared up to run against House Majority Leader Barbara Flynn Currie (Speaker Madigan, of course, is Blagojevich’s arch nemesis), and the fact that he has only granted 67 pardons in his entire term of office has now led to this…
Deputy Governor Louanner Peters, U.S. Representative Danny K. Davis and other elected officials will today respond to allegations that clemency petitions for the African-American community are political.
WHO: Deputy Governor Louanner Peters
U.S. Representative Danny K. Davis
Other elected officials

* 3:37 pm - I forgot to post this earlier today, but SurveyUSA has conducted polling in all 50 states matching Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton against John McCain. Illinois’ results can be found at this link. It’s 60-31 in the Obama-McCain matchup and 48-37 in the Clinton-McCain pairing.
All states are here (Obama vs. McCain) and here (Clinton vs. McCain).
*** 4:21 pm *** John Laesch narrowly lost the Democratic primary in the 14th Congressional District to Bill Foster. Now, literally on the eve of Foster’s special election against Republican Jim Oberweis, Laesch has petitioned for a discovery recount. Read it here.
