So everyone will be there. Well, not everyone. Or wait, no…everyone. Because Governor Pat Quinn happened to leave off Illinois Comptroller Dan Hynes, who was also going to be in attendance. It just so happens he’s running against Quinn in the Democratic primary for Governor. Minutes after getting the governor’s press release, we got this in our Inbox:

CHICAGO — Illinois Comptroller and Democratic candidate for Governor Dan Hynes will attend Mayor Daley’s Interfaith Breakfast Celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. tomorrow, January 15, at 7:45 AM.

Full details are as follows: WHAT: Dan Hynes attends Mayor Daley’s Interfaith Breakfast Celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. WHERE: Palmer House Hilton, Grand and State Ballroom WHEN: Friday, January 15, 7:45 AM #### As you can see, Hynes list 7:45am, Quinn 8am. Is this time upmanship? I wonder if they will share a table or maybe have to pass the syrup to each other.
