Rich notes Dana Millbank has arrived and is concerned about the possibility of Blagojevich invading Missouri ( a little wag the dog you know):
I feel my arrival here has enhanced my domestic policy experience.
It certainly does, because our next door neighbors here are other states. They’re next to the state that I am in.
Missouri has a very narrow maritime border between another state, Illinois, and on our other side, the land boundary that we have with Kansas. We have trade missions back and forth. We do.
It’s very important when you consider even national security issues with Illinois as Governor Blagojevich rears his head and comes into the airspace of Missouri. Where– where do they go? It’s Missouri. It’s just right over the border. It is from Missouri that we send those out to make sure that an eye is being kept on this very powerful state, Illinois, because they are right there. They are right next to– to our state.
Rich suggests going to at least University City–not a random suggestion as it has both the Loop and my house. My only wish is that Hoffman doesn’t run for State House over here. I’m all for the invasion and promise to provide necessary intelligence to the Illinois National Guard.
Arch,
I know this is maybe getting ahead of ourselves and I apologize that it is slightly off topic, but should Obama win the Presidency, who is likely to run for his Senate seat and is it safe to say that it will stay Dem?
