Director of Illinois Dept. of Veterans' Affairs visits Quincy
Duckworth comments on consideration for Senate
By Alexis Hunt Saturday, November 08, 2008 at 9:48 p.m.
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.
Need a screen capture. It will be gone soon.
Hope and Change.../sarc
You’ll get a kick out of the comment at the end of the article left by some reader. You can’t make this stuff up!
Better cache and snap that sucker. It’ll be gone, too.
What are you saying? I’m out of the loop. Arrgg
Yes, Melba Funk, it involves mucho dinero...............

He could be convicted of all sorts of corruption, and his myrmidons would still insist that he serve as POTUS.

HUSSEIN THE GREAT HAS SPOKEN! There isn’t enough bandwidth to make this story stick.
“He was just a Blago who lived in my neighborhood.”
Sorry. There needs to be a copy of this article made somewhere. The November 5th on on Zero’s meeting Blago went poof, today, after all the attention.
___ Hope _____ _____ Change
I things don’t
Governor Rod Blagojevich is just another politician that happen to live in Chicago neighborhood. Obama might have occasionally in the same room as many as few times. They never had any contact so far ever. Obama does not even know that the Governor has the power to fill up his seat. This is the conspiracy of the failed Republican party to frame the President-elect.

By this weekend this scandal should reach critical mass.
Did you see that people have been posting the seat for sale on ebay ! ha ha ha

Done.
They put together a bunch of good links but few of them are working for me in IE7.

They are talking about this, he went through the best of it at the top of the show, found photos of Jackson and Blago together at DNC. Supposed to be OP link but doesn't take me to right page (OP's did).
There is a link at the top where you can listen live. This guy is up on it because we are close and been following Blago for years here before it blew up in the msm.
Article - GONE!

How Clintonish. Obama LIED, who would have thunk! OMG I can not believe it, the messiah is caught in another lie.
Yep...GONE!
Like they were never even there. It was just a bad dream, just like the past election.
Well, I have the screen capture, the page I had to scroll to the right to get the short article and then further on the right there was one of those circle jerk things that kept going and going and not loading anything (like you see when videos are loading) only there was no frame for it.
It’s gone!
I looked at it 20 minutes ago and it was there...now it’s gone...5:00pm exactly...
This is getting to the point of preposterous......do the asshats truly believe that just removing an article makes the story go away.
My Lord....
I checked the Chicago Sun Times and Chicago Libune online archives and found no specific reference to a Blago-Obama meeting. That’s not to say a meeting didn’t occur, just that these newspapers didn’t report one.
Explain please...
Man! You weren’t joking! The article is gone.

The coverup is always worse than the crime.....wonder when someone will say it - OBAMA DIDN’T EVEN WAIT UNTIL HE WAS IN OFFICE TO BEGIN LYING TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
Tammy Duckworth (Democrat opportunist consumed by ambition)(willing to say anything to advance her own career.)
KHQA TV wishes to offer clarification regarding a story that appeared last month on our website ConnectTristates.com. The story, which discussed the appointment of a replacement for President Elect Obama’in the U.S. Senate, became the subject of much discussion on talk radio and on blog sites Wednesday.
The story housed in our website archive was on the morning of November 5, 2008. It suggested that a meeting was scheduled later that day between President Elect Obama and Illinois Governor Blagojevich. KHQA has no knowledge that any meeting ever took place. Governor Blagojevich did appear at a news conference in Chicago on that date.
“Like they were never even there. It was just a bad dream, just like the past election.”
Yeah...we FReepers imagine the strangest things! LOL!
WE ARE AT WAR WITH EURASIA.
OCEANIA HAS ALWAYS BEEN AT WAR WITH EURASIA.
I read that today, so it must be true.
I just tossed this together. I'll fix it up this weekend.
Toadying media outlets have no pride whatsoever.
We have the article, losers, at least pretend to stand by it since you can't wish it away.
Duckworth lost her bid for the congress. Pathetic that she would be given a senate seat.
But then, it is Illinois.
She is anti war and spent a lot of time attacking President Bush.
Perfect fit for O.
O did not have contact with that Governor, Mr. Blogoivich.
Not one time. Now he has to go back to the business of being President before he’s offically the president.
