Family feud continues, Mell to co-chair possible Blagojevich opponent's fundraising event

This comes to us from NBC 5 Chicago. Democratic state representative Jack Franks of northwest suburban McHenry County is having a fundraising event later this month. Although he's a member of the same political party, Franks is a bitter enemy of Illinois' Governor Rod "Testicular Virility" Blagojevich.

Richard Mell, Chicago alderman, father-in-law of Blagojevich--but now also an enemy of Blago, is co-chairman of Franks' fundraiser.

NBC 5 mentions the possibility that Franks' may oppose Blagojevich in the Democratic primary for governor next year.
