#3 Indict a CHICAGO DEMOCRAT tied to The One on the eve of an election? Wouldn't look good if Barry had to testify in open court or even to a Grand Jury before the election, now would it?

#4 Is this the October Surprise Clinton's minions were hinting at during the primary season?

#5 Isn't this the usual final step in the life cycle process of any Illinois governor?

#6 Illinois prisons are once again running low on Gubernatorial inmates. Only George Ryan remains in jail. Otto Kerner, Jr. was convicted of bribery and other charges and sentenced to three years in prison, but was released early when he developed terminal cancer and passed away in 1976. Daniel Walker served 18 months of a seven year sentence and remains with us, as far as I know.

Pack a smallish bag Governor Blagoveich. Joliet will furnish most of what you need.

#7 This has been building for a while. Blago also goes by the street name "unindited (as of yet) co conspirator B" during the Rezko trial.
Once Tony flips, Blago gets his turn on the stand.
What many outside of Chicago don't know is Blago thought HE was to be the new annointed one heading for the White House as recently as 2002.
Rezko was placing multiple bets by bankrolling both Blago and Obama at the same time.
You better flip, Tony, before sentencing, or we will see you in 2020.

#8 "Rezko could cut his prison time significantly by cooperating in investigations of other public figures...."

Don't tease me.....
