The US Senate seat vacated by then-Senator (now President) Barack Obama was a golden seat, up for grabs. Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich, who- like Obama- is a democrat, apparently saw this as a golden egg too good to let go of. Besides, he didn't want this to fall back into Republican hands, right?
Well, the US Senate seat is still in Democrats' hands- Obama's replacement is a 71-year-old African-American. But Illinois state senators- obviously in a nonpartisan vote, of 59-0- decided that Blagojevich wasn't fit for office. So, as of now, Pat Quinn becomes the new governor of Illinois.
Blagojevich was arrested last month on federal corruption charges, for reportedly trying to sell Obama's senate seat. Blagojevich said that he didn't do anything wrong, but evidence- including several taped messages- stacked up against him.
But Blago did make a last second appeal to stay in office:
Blagojevich cannot run or hold public office in Illinois ever again. See what happens when you cheat, Mr. Now-Ex-Governor?
NBC 5 Chicago has the full report, just click on the title for the link. Also at the link are the transcripts from the wiretaps- get at least one of those on your external or internal hard drives (I have the entire 78 page affidavit on my flash drive. Makes for good reading...).
