After Blago's speech, the Illinois Republic's called for a caucus and got an hour delay.
What's going on? Are they up to something nefarious?

1. No clue.
Any reports of ominous pipe organ music coming from the room?

2. The Democrats asked for it first, and then the Republics made
the same request.

5. I didn't see that. The chatterheads on CNN were chattering during that stretch.

4. If all the Dems vote to remove him from office,which they should,
they will still need some of the repukes. They could be trying to 'save' Blago, to cause the Dems more of a headache. Other than that, I don't know what else they could be up to.

6. That's what I am wondering. I'm sure they would rather have a wounded Blago,
than his replacement, who would have the support of the Dem Legislatures.
