Illinois Headlines the Democratic National Convention

From Jennifer Roche, About.com GuideAugust 25, 2008

Follow me on:

They've loaded the roster at tonight's Democratic National Convention with Illinoisans, including, of course, Michelle Obama, wife of Barack Obama. She is the keynote speaker. As they say, a rising tide floats all boats. Look whose ship is in the water:
  • Lisa Madigan, Attorney General of Illinois
  • Dan Hynes, State Comptroller
  • Alexi Giannoulis, State Treasurer
  • Jesse Jackson, Jr., U.S. House of Representatives
  • Miguel del Valle, City Clerk of Chicago
  • Michelle Obama, Wife of Barack Obama
And note whose is not: Governor Rod Blagojevich and Jesse Jackson, Sr.
