He enhanced his resume. Probably looking for the DNC chairmanship position.
I hear a lot of Democrats trying to excuse Obama from any involvement. No one is saying that Obama was involved (although Obama’s outright denial of even talking with the governor seem un-credible), but there does exist a culture of corruption in Chicago politics that stretches WAY back.
And Obama comes from it. Tony Rezko anyone?
Thanks for the link----looks like they named names (snicker).

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 (Nov 5) 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.
