The following includes the latest developments to my topic surrounding former Governor Rod Blagojevich. The most useful info so far has been found on a google newsgroup and can be located at:

This link discusses the proposed book deal between Blagojevich and Phoenix books, including the reasoning for him choosing this large independent publisher instead of one of the larger, "major" publishers. Blagojevich wanted to secure a publisher that would not censor his comments, so the whole truth could be told, as this is expected to be a tell-all book, which is sure to embarrass himself as well as others in politics.

Also of interest is the renewed call by some to remove Roland Burris, Obama’s Senatorial replacement appointed by Blagojevich in the midst of the scandal that expedited his impeachment and conviction. Some say Burris’ appointment was tainted from the beginning as Blagojevich was being accused of wrongdoing in the attempted sale of the very Senate post he now occupies. Investigations into Burris’ recent past have revealed that he has at least attempted to raise funds to contribute to Blagojevich’s campaign. Emerging from this growing crowd of opposition is labor lawyer and congressional candidate Tom Geoghegan. Geoghegan and his attorneys have filed suit against the state of Illinois in an attempt to force a special election, causing a candidate to be chosen by the people. The newsgroup ny.politics has a posting in relation to this at
