PE said he was “absolutely certain” neither he nor anyone on his team had illicit dealings with Blago and that's good enough for me. Even though the media is trying to pimp Americans by exploiting stuff that isn't there, the story should be done for all of us. Friends and neighbors are dealing with job losses, wiped out pension plans and imminent foreclosures. Under president-elect Obama, we need to be sophisticated enough to stay focused on issues that really affect us instead of allowing the media to distract us with hype.

Was the Obama camp approached by Blago? If yes, did the Obama people immediately turn Blago in? This is what I'm a tiny bit worried about, cause there is a “responsibility to report” re wrongdoing. Delayed or no reporting would be bad news for our PE. I'm praying Rahm did drop a dime on Blago right quick.

Ra 60785, you're rightfully troubled by Jake Tapper's comments on the Ed Schultz show. While Tapper's underlying motives are unclear, it's obvious he has an agenda. Past and present comments about the president-elect have been snide and disingenuous. And right now, his blog is red meat for the fringe who think an Obama presidency will lead to the downfall of this nation. Maybe that's why he's so “frustrated” that nothing illegal links Obama to Blago. For whatever reason, Tapper wants to see PE go down in flames.

ABC's Jake Tapper said on the Ed Schultz program, today (Weds.) that it is “frustrating nothing in yesterday's (Blagojevic affidavit) says (President-elect) Obama did anything wrong.” My question is: why is this “frustrating?” What's your agenda, Mr. Tapper?

PE Obama needs to go ahead and announce some more cabinet picks and change the story, because the press is bored and they will be all over this. I don't care about the wingnuts because they are already suffering from Obama Derangement Syndrom. As long as Obama and his staff are clean then the American people won't care too much. PE Obama just needs to keep it cool and keep ot rolling.

Really, though. What would Blago have that OBAMA would want or need?

Seriously. Obama is the President-Elect. He's ALREADY more powerful than Bush who is the actual president. Blago would need to suck up to Obama, not the other way around.

Some people need to sit down with their illusions.

Why are you insistent that Jarrett will not get the seat.
The whole point of outing Blagojevich is for Jarrett to get the seat.
Quinn will make the appointment so it will not be seen as tainted.
Moreover, Jarrett is the candidate who dropped out rather than submit to bribing him.

She is looking like the one with integrity...not all the others who are up in the mix, dickering and jockeying for how to give Blag money.

It is too expensive for IL to hold a special election. The best route is to impeach Blag and let Quinn assume the Governorship and appoint Jarrett.

Game Set Match by the O team.

Jarrett is not getting that seat.

In fact, who would want it an ANY JUNCTURE at this time. IT is tainted. 2010 Obama's senate seat and the governor seat is up for grabs.

Blago is DONE. Even if he appoints someone the senate is threatening to not allow the person in the senate. Yes, they can do that.

The appropriate action for Emil would be to call for an impeachment instead.

After all, if the IL legislature does pass Special Election bill...don't they need Blagojevich to sign the bill in order to proceed?

As long as Fitz doesn't indict ..if Emil is candidate5 since no money has changed hands he has not committed a criminal act right?

I think the reason Fitz let out the complaint early was so that folks would start snitich...old as Emil is I am sure he will know how to cut the best deal for himself.

Jones is the Senate President. Has been for awhile. From a safe district, so his fundraising was ' just because' money. He has the money.
