We have to get that Nov 5 news story out---that one of Obama's first priorities was his replacement and that he intended to (or did actually) meet with Governor Rod Blagojevich (Nov 5) in Chicago to discuss his Senate replacement.
Maybe Blag will get out if Bush is blamed.
Also, since Blag wanted to run for presidency, he always were dangerous ambitious competition. I would not be surprized if he were trapped and sollicited by O himself. Would it be a way to eliminate potential blackmailers/aka competition.
