SPRINGFIELD -- On what would have been Richard Nixon's 95th birthday, the Illinois House voted 114-1 today to impeach Gov. Blagojevich -- the first chief executive in the state's 190-year history to face such an action.
"He went out for a run," Blagojevich spokesman Lucio Guererro said. "He knew it was a foregone conclusion. There was no drama. They decided what they wanted to do, and they're going to do it."
Blagojevich intends to make a statement regarding today's vote at a 2 p.m. appearance at the James R. Thompson Center.
