Who will fill Obama's senate seat? (Obama says never met with Blagojevich)

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.

Good find. Not only does Bozo deny he spoke to Blago, but Axlerod(spelling?)said in a taped Nov 23 interview that Bozo did speak to the governor about the senate replacement and yesterday Bozo forced Axlerod to retract that statement and say he was mistaken. Well, according to the news article you posted he was very much on the mark. It would be nice if our corrupt MSM would start printing the truth and hunting down evidence Bozo is lying.

If this was W what do you think they would be doing?
