CHICAGO, ILL. -- Now that Barack Obama will be moving to the White House, his seat in the U.S. Senate representing Illinois will have to be filled.
That's one of Obama's first priorities today.
He's meeting with Governor Rod Blagojevich this afternoon in Chicago to discuss it.
Illinois law states that the governor chooses that replacement.
There's already been speculation about his selection...from Congressman Jesse Jackson, Jr. of Chicago's south side who co-chaired Obama's presidential campaign, to recently-retired state senate president Emil Jones, to the governor himself.
It's likely the governor will make his decision quickly so the new senator will get some seniority before newly-elected senators take office in January.
Part of the timing depends on when Obama officially vacates his senate seat.
KHQA's Alexis Hunt is speaking with Illinois Senator John Sullivan today about his thoughts on that replacement process, his time working with Obama in the state senate, and if there's a chance Sullivan might play a role in the Obama administration. Watch KHQA News at 5:00, 6:00 and 10:00 p.m. tonight to hear what he has to say.
I think a couple of things......Team Zero stepped in or it was eating up their bandwidth.
Obama’s lawyers called Drudge and told him to pull it?
but didn’t you HEAR HIM SAY, he didn’t know anything about this?

That reference you made on another thread, “Just a neighbor from the neighborhood ...” Is that from the film `Blue Velvet’?
Who cares what Drudge does? Anyone?
Drudge? Drudge who?
I think we all know what happened to the link.
I just posted a vanity in Bloggers for this because the LINK TO TRISTATES IS GONE.
Both articles from before and after his meetings.
Error message on the link
