Conference calls before dawn?

One line in Mike Flannery's story about Governor "Skates" Blagojevich made me scratch my head.

So, when he's not there, where is he working? Mostly at his home on the Northwest Side of Chicago. Insiders report that the governor is often up before dawn, making conference calls from a small office there, and sometimes from a political campaign office a few blocks away.

I've been on a lot of conference calls, but none before dawn. Who's Rod calling—campaign contributors in Serbia?
