So, reading the story, I have to ask, "Where's the scandal you refer to?" As far as I know, it's not illegal to TALK TO SOMEONE about who you'd like or not like in a Senate seat. The illegal part comes when you offer money, favors, or influence, or offer to accept same, in exchange for appointing "your guy" to the seat.

From what they're saying in the linked news article, it looks like Harry Reid simply told Blogojevich's office who he DIDN'T want to have that seat, because they'd be more vulnerable to a Republican opponent.

1) Does this have anything to do with Obama ?

2) Was anything illegal done ?

Is that the same Reid ... Senate Majority Leader ... expressing an opinion about a replacement Senator ? That's very suspicious.

And, it has nothing to do with Obama, apparently.

Because Reid wasn't involved in any bartering.


"Did you call Hot-Rod?"

This makes no sense at all. Is there a thought process at work, or are you channeling some delusion ?
