6. So do I!

Who knows why he had to do Blago's bidding, from all I read about him he was the logical choice to fill the seat. I like his moxie. Dana ; )

He is a good man I have know him for a long time...really appreciated his courage when he dove into the City Pool back in Centralia for the first of many times...He my live in Chicago now, but he still considers Centralia home...
