PENNSYLVANIA: CITIZENS VOICE
-- BEYOND OUTRAGEOUS: SUNDAY, APRIL 20, 2008: OBAMA: "I've got the chairman of the Republican Party in DuPage County, the most Republican county in Illinois, who is also one of (presumptive Republican presidential nominee) John McCain’s co-chairs in Illinois in a TV commercial for me here in Pennsylvania." (NOTE TO OBAMA: Republican State Senator Kirk Dillard is the one who did the TV commercial for you. Dillard was the Chairman of the DuPage County Republican Party, but Republican State Senator Dan Cronin is the Chairman now.)

-- Ex-governor Edgar says problems in state government close to insurmountable
http://www.wthitv.com/Global/story.asp?S=8199457
(THE ARTICLE: A former Illinois governor says he's never seen it so bad. Jim Edgar told an Illinois News Broadcasters Association convention in Springfield last night that he's never seen the state government as dysfunctional as it is now. The Republican points to perennial deadlock over the state budget as an example. Edgar says current governor, Democrat Rod Blagojevich, isn't all to blame. He says people he talks to downstate are disappointed with state government in general. But whoever's at fault, Edgar says any future governor will face major challenges in trying to fix a host of pressing problems, like budgetary shortfalls. He warns that the problems threaten to become insurmountable.)
