Obama's senate seat tied in with Governor Scandal! a ?political corruption crime spree,? that had ?taken us to a truly new low.??The conduct would make Lincoln roll over in his grave.

i like to quote things too!!!!!!!!!!
"Obama has long distanced himself from the governor of his home state -- who has been under investigation on other issues for years -- but Blagojevich's arrest was a likely embarrassment to the president-elect. Obama said he was "saddened and sobered" by the news and has not been aware of the alleged efforts to sell the Senate seat he vacated"
"The governor also tried to extort the Chicago Tribune, one of the countrie's leading newspapers, into firing editorial writers who were critical of him, federal prosecutors said."

His statement that he didn't have contact with Blagojevich about the Senate seat seems to conflict with that of top adviser David Axelrod, who told Fox News Chicago on Nov. 23: "I know he's talked to the governor, and there are a whole range of names, many of which have surfaced, and I think he has a fondness for a lot of them." Obama transition officials say Axelrod misspoke.
Hmm......never talked with him about the Senate seat eh? Looks like he was grooming a crony for it if you ask me....

I think the main point here is, that OMG *gasp* it's a Democrat who blew it this time, but yet we hadn't seen any "breaking" news from our Democratic Pundit yet, I wonder why?

the gov was quoted as saying Obama's team had told him who they would like appointed....so there is some connection.
