Hey, what about the new Claypool ads that started airing today. I thought that Stroger would have the airwaves to himself for another week or two. Claypool looked pretty good to me. Thirty-three days away from reform in Cook County!

I love the event times, pure fantasy. The governor and his team have never been famous for disciplined campaigning. Expect him to be hours late for most of these planned announcements.

Heya Rich! if that is the original text of the fly around schedule it just further demostrate how incredebly clueless Blago and his imported staff of thieves is
A. There is not “Rock Island Airport” anywhere in Illinois
B. If those little California/New York/DC Staffers of Blago’s were refering to the Quad City Airport (MLI) it is in the city of Moline
Maybe some of those Boston college imports ought to ask for thier Daddy’s money back cause they dont know how to read a map
Its the Blago staff challenge…name 10 Downstate Counties….bet most of them would fail miserably…just like his corrupt administration
