Just the fact that he has allowed Bobby Rush to cry race and then met with a bunch of black ministers for their blessing makes me sick. Illinois has elected many fine black candidates and "elected" is the key word. We didn't want him when he ran legally, why would we want him now. Not that it matters now, he will get the seat, but will he serve again after an election - that is the real question. He is a phony and an opportunist, we deserve better.

The Democrats are going to protect their Senate seat just as much as Norm Coleman is trying to save a Republican seat in Minnesota.

No different than the Republicans covering the butt of "family values" man Senator David Vitter, (R-LA) who has some issues himself.. Republicans lvoe to crow about family values but have no problem when the daughter of their Vice Presidential nominee had child born out of wedlock. If Gov.

It's a legal appointment which no one, not White, not Reid have any legal basis to oppose. Like it or not Blago made this appointment as the Governor of Illinios. He outsmarted his critics. Seat Roland Burris. If you want less cries of racism, follow the rules. It is when the rules get bent in favor of the majority and against the minority that claims of bias will be made.

Not without joining him in the next jail cell. So where is this evidence? No money changed hands. How is it that wanting something from Obama to put his pick in the senate is illegal and called "Pay to Play" but somehow the Clinton/Obama you stand by and endorse me as president and I'll help pay your campaign debt and give you the secretary of state job was not "Pay for Play". The more "evidence" I hear about this the more I know he did nothing wrong other than to tell Obama that if he wanted his pick he should return the favor. Blagojevich= Guilty of only one thing.
