I think Davis is a non-starter too. He’s done a lot of “questionable” screwy things like being the only member of Congress to sign a resolution demanding Mumia Abu-Jamal’s release, being photographed crowning the Rev. Sun Myung Moon in some bizarre religious ceremony at the Dirksen Senate Office Building, and accusing the police of being motivated solely by “racism” when he was pulled over and given a traffic ticket for driving on the wrong side of the road last year. His eccentric behavior is so distracting that even Chicago’s two liberal rags, the Tribune and the Sun-Times, endorsed the anti-war Ron Paulite Republican running against him this year (and believe me, that was the LONE Republican they endorsed trying to take a Dem seat in Chicago).

Really, between Davis, Rush, and JJJ, I think JJJ is the only black Congressman from Illinois with a realistic chance of being appointed to the U.S. Senate.

Of course if Blago wanted to go all out and appoint an Obama clone to the seat, he could name Dan Seals, the three-time loser who tried to defeat Congressman Mark Kirk in the “who’s the bigger marxist” contest they had this year. (Kirk, incredibly, managed to run to the LEFT of Obama)

And then there’s the guy appointed to Obama’s state senate seat, Kwame Raoul. Not only did they find another guy with an “african sounding” name from Chicago’s Hyde Park to get the job, but he’s ALSO a “community organizer” and card-carrying member of Rev. Wright’s church. Obama’s chickens... comin’ home to roost!
