The New York Times has a good story on how Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D) is pursuing the task of filling President-elect Obama’s soon-to-be-vacant U.S. Senate seat. It would seem that Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich is turning to a close group of advisors for …well, advice, after he was inundated with nearly dozens of politicians offering up their services as President-elect Obama’s replacement.
Even still, Governor Blagojevich expects to make a decision by Christmas.
Hey Ruth Ann! You do realize you are still Governor of the State of Delaware. You do realize you get to appoint Vice President-elect Biden’s replacement, right? Can we get some information on your timetable? Who are you considering, Madam Governor? Who are you turning to for advice?
ZZZZZzzzzzzz…..
Huh..? What? I can annoint someone?
Here’s the thing, if she appoints Carney and he stays, we end up with a guy that will have seniority over the rest of this freshman class. Possibly including the Illinois Senator to be named.
What’s the hold up?
I guess RAM wants to keep everyone talking about her as long as possible.
