Today news broke regarding the ongoing investigation of the Illinois Governor and his apparent attempt to sell, or put up for bid, Obama's Senate seat. And of course we are now hearing more and more about the Governor's wife and her role as well.
This could pose a very interesting situation for President Elect Obama who states he was not involved, never discussed this with the Governor and has nothing to say since it is an ongoing investigation. Yet, Axelrod stated that Obama had spoken with the Governor and Obama had some special thoughts for several people who could be considered. Axelrod now states he misspoke.
It will be interesting as this moves forward as to the extent of all of this and who all was involved. Perhaps Obama wasn't aware of this or perhaps he was and his bowing out is caused the Governor some of the heartburn where he is saying he wasn't getting anything.
Let's see where this will lead but I don't have any warm or fuzzy feelings for the Democrats. This could really become quite an issue for them, Obama, etc.
What do I think? I'll share those thoughts as the story unfolds.
