Axelrod says, I know hes talked with the Governor. Cant get any plainer than that. Common sense tells you that Obama would have SOME input with the Govenor about who was going to take his senate seat. Gov. Blogo: "I am appointing John Smith to fill President-elect Obama's senate seat. I didn't ask for any input from president-elect Obama, and he didn't offer any." Does that statement make any kind of sense?

Axelrod says, I know hes talked with the Governor. The Obama apologists will claim that doesn't mean anything.

David Axelrod: Obama Senior Advisor
Fox Chicago Sunday, November 23, 2008
Q: Has he expressed a preference, however, on who might replace him in the senate?
A: He has not. I mean uh, I know he has talked to the governor, and uh, you know, he’s, ah, there are a whole range of names many of which have surfaced, and he’s, I think he has a fondness for a lot of them.

The man has zero credibility. The inauguration is still over a month away and he's already embroiled in controversies like this.
Axelrod is sweating over the next four years.

So, reporters asked, he does not intend to resign? Not that I know of, no, said Sorosky, who added that the governor was surprised by the days events.
Hope he doesn't resign. If he doesn't, this may be the story that last well into next year and gets the media all fired up to go all "Woodward and Bernstein". The reporters can't be happy about the Tribune editorial board issue and not bailing out their jobs. If he sticks around, I predict this story gets a lot of legs for a good while.

I doubt the sheep will recognize that there is a huge difference between the public face of Obama and his dog and pony show and the reality of what went on behind the scenes on that replacement.
Obama will just throw Axelrod under the bus if this gets public play.
To: NoObamaFightForConservatives
In all fairness to Obama, It is not fair to take his comment
I had no contact with the governor or his office and so I was not aware of what was happening, Obama told reporters today in Chicago
This was a direct response to the events of today.
To somehow tie it to the Axelrod video is something Democrats would do, hopefully not us.......so stop using the democrat playbook and posting statements out of context

Except that the Chicago politics one has legs, and the birth certificate one doesn't. The people don't care about a Hawaii birth certificate, but they do care about selling Senate seats and such. Don't waste time distracting from the one with legs.

"... and so I was not aware of what was happening," And we are to believe Axelrod & Obamah wasn't talking about the appointment?
Lying bastard!

So this is what a corrupt governor's scandal looks like?
I thought only a governor protecting her nephew's abuser was a scandal. < /sarc>

President Bush should appoint a Special Prosecutor to investigate the President Elect before leaving office!
How sweet would that be.

Yes! Let's Sing! (sung to Monty Python's "I'm a lumberjack)
OOOO-bama's a crook and he gets paid
He rips the right and the left's gets played

O-bama's a crook and he gets paid
He rips the right and the left's gets played
A Rezko here, a Blago there
my friends have Chi-town ties
They'll all go to prison, I'll be riding high!!

O-bama's a crook and he gets paid
He rips the right and the left's gets played
I take some bribes, appoint the thugs, put the public on
Soon you'll wear a burkah, just like dear old mom... (chorus)

Pat Buchanan is saying right now that Obama and Axelrod are going to be called before a Grand Jury to answer questions about any conversations or contacts they had with Blag about the Senate seat. Popcorn, anyone.

The funny thing about this is that the Donks would just love to give Fitzpatrick the Ken Starr treatment, and brand him as a politically motivated hack who is wasting the public’s money on a private vendetta, etc. Unfortunately for them, they just spent the previous three years praising him to the skies whyile he was investigating the Bush White House over the Valerie Plame affair.
If we have to trade one Scooter Libby to innoculate Fitzpatrick while he goes after Rezko/Blagojevich/Obama, it is a small price to pay.
