GOVERNOR'S DAY
Atty-General Lisa Madigan Chides her father, Speaker Mike Madigan, for his feeding ice cream to her children for breakfast. This was one of the lighter moments, as Illinois Democrats tried to lift their spirits in the wake of Rod Blagojevich's conviction the day before, and polls showing Republicans ahead in a number of key races.
GOP DAY
Republicans were far more upbeat this year, where they believe they have a strong opportunity to pick up Barack Obama's US Senate seat, and to win back the Governor's office, and several other statewide offices. Steve Kim, is one of those with a very difficult race -- running against Sec of State Jesse White. But he told the crowd of his pride in being the first Asian-American to be nominated for a statewide office.
