CHICAGO (AP) - Illinois Deputy Governor Louanner Peters has been identified as "Senate Candidate 4" in the criminal complaint filed against Gov. Rod Blagojevich.

An unidentified source familiar with the complaint revealed the information to The Associated Press on Thursday. The source was not authorized to speak publicly about the complaint and spoke on the condition of anonymity.

In the complaint, Blagojevich said he would put Candidate 4 in Barack Obama's vacant Senate seat instead of another candidate, if the governor did not get anything in return.

1. Does this mean she offered something? Or that she was a pick to encourage Obama to pay up?

2. She works for Rod she didn't offer him anything

It was going to be an FU to Barack.

4. For those who, like me, have no clue who she is. Blago appointed her one of his deputy

Governors after she was one of his deputy campaign managers. The press release from when he appointed her says, in part:

"Louanner Peters brings years of public service to the position, as well as a strong background in directing social services operations. As the Governor’s deputy chief of staff for social services, Peters oversaw the state’s social service agencies, including the Departments of Human Services, Healthcare and Family Services, Children and Family Services, Public Health, Veterans’ Affairs, Human Rights and Aging. Most recently Louanner served as deputy campaign manager on Governor Blagojevich’s reelection campaign."

5. Maybe Blago was thinking of poking Obama's eye with this nomination.

Nominating a nobody who is an acolyte of Blago was just meant as a slap at Obama, IMO.
