QUINCY, IL — 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.
Obama met with Governor Rod Blagojevich earlier this week to discuss it. Illinois law states that the governor chooses that replacement. There’s already been speculation about his selection...from Congressman Jesse Jackson, Junior to Illinois Department of Veterans’ Affairs Director Tammy Duckworth.
Duckworth made an appearance in Saturday’s Veterans’ parade in Quincy. We asked her about the possibility of filling Obama’s seat.
“The Governor’s office confirmed yesterday that he is considering me and I am deeply honored jus to be considered. I hope whoever is selected is someone who is willing to travel around the state and gets to know this wonderful state. I’m just honored to be considered,” Duckworth said.
The governor expects to make his decision before Christmas. Part of the timing depends on when Obama officially vacates his senate seat.

PS. Duckworth (Durbin’s Fitz pawn?) lied!

We need a storehouse/thread with all the super secret archived material! ;)
btt
excuse me, but what year is this? 1984
too many similarities.
same old government corruption = change
eligible? = rather than show a document that should be readily available, fight showing it to anyone objective, employing high priced lawyers.
ayers = worked with him closely, he started Obama fundraising campaign, appointed him chairman of a foundation - but hardly knew him, and the fact that he is an unrepentent terrorist is no biggy.
what is the world coming to?
That's more than a month after the stories came out that these two crooks did meet.
What's that saying about if you say it enough the people will believe it? They are saying it a plenty that this conversation never took place, although it apprently happened before they started denying it happened.
"I met with Blago before I didn't meet with him"
