    As the state legislature considers impeachment, Rod Blagojevich today went out for a jog. Telling reporters less than he wanted to, the Illinois Governor said he was eager to tell his side of the story to the people of Chicago, but that there was "a time and place for everything." President-elect Barack Obama addressed speculation in the press, saying that he is "abiding by the request of the US attorneys office" adding that he expected to have answers available next week. Joel Weisman is host of the public TV program Chicago Tonight.
