I found the following info very informative.. I think that this is worth taking a look at.. JJPaul, why haven't you posted this? Oh, that is right because it is about the Democrats.. If it were the Republicans you would be all over it.
Chicago War Zone information

Political Leaders:
Senators Barack Obama and Dick Durbin,
Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.
Gov. Rod Blogojevich,
House leader Mike Madigan,
Atty. Gen. Lisa Madigan,

The leadership in Chicago....all democrats. Of course they are all blaming each other. Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any!!
