Still photos on the web and video on television newscasts keep showing Governor Mitch Daniels standing alongside Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich during a meeting with President-elect Barack Obama last week.
According to Daniels press secretary Jane Jankowski the governors at the meeting were assigned to sit in the order the state was admitted to the Union (Indiana 19, Illinois 21.) That alone accounts for the close proximity, she says.
Somehow, Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour (state #20) is out of view.
