Jessie Jackson Jr. has nothing to do with this Blago thing
So all of those folks slobbering over the possibility need to check themselves. Yeah, he met with Blago yesterday, but you don't know under what circumstances.

Jessie Jackson and Blago have a long running feud. Trust and believe me that JJJ is not stupid enough to implicate himself in Blago's mess by being caught on tape trying to buy a seat. Blago wasn't even giving JJJ the time of day, and JJJ knew this. So how could JJJ have the final word on this? By cooperating with the U.S. Attorney. Blago is the dumb bastard in this situation.

Now guess what? Not one of the folks bandied about in the media will get the seat without having to first run for it.

1. I was the OP of the JJJ post, and I was by no means trying to "implicate" him, as I stated

he is my number one choice for the seat. I really like and respect the guy.

But I also don't hide from factual information, whether it matches my dislikes or likes or not.

And it was very relevant in my eyes that he sat with the man for 90 minutes yesterday, had a long conversation about the Senate seat and then came out and praised the Governor regarding how he was handling the selection....all less than 24 hours before the Governor was arrested.

Those are facts not implications.
