Prison

       Former Governor Don Siegelman starting serving his six year plus term in a Federal lockup in Louisiana this week, hoping for a pardon from President Obama. There's an online petition asking Obama to do just that, though the results won't be delivered to the White House till after the November election. If Obama loses to Mitt Romney, I kinda doubt they'll bother...though you never know.     
     What would he have to lose?
     Here his address, in case you want to drop a note:
Mr. Don Siegelman 
#24775-001 
P.O. Box 5010 
Oakdale, LA 
71463 
     His two adult children drove him to the prison, and provided CBS 8 with a video clip showing him walking into the facility.
     His imprisonment comes despite a letter signed by more than one-hundred former state attorney's general urging the courts to overturn his conviction.
     If he serves the full term, he won't get out till 2018.

    Tim, it is the other way around. Don is pulling for Romney to win. Otherwise he has to wait another four years in prison for O's term to expire and will have served most of his sentence. Controversial pardons are usualy granted with hours to go in a final term of a presidency. I wonder if he can get another appreal bond. Probably not.
