Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich says Democrats are making a mistake by belittling Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s experience. He says he supports Obama, but his remarks would seem to indicate that he thinks Palin is more qualified.

Or is he just trying to boast of his own decision-making prowess?

Today’s agenda

1 comment September 11th, 2008

The Editorial Board meets today and we have quite a bit to talk about. The top item is how we want to handle endorsement interviews this year. We will endorse, but how we bring in candidates and the format we will use to quiz them about the offices they seek are likely to change.

We’re also going to revisit the sales tax for schools initiative.

Other topics include charter schools, the lottery lease plan that was approved by the House yesterday, more on ethics reform, the plan to cut down on wait times for Rockford school registration, teen drivers, water bills and the prospects of a Rockford casino.

That should keep us pretty busy.
