Kwame Raoul gets mentioned in another speculative piece on Obama’s potential replacements
(yes, there are some real problems with Kwame getting the call given it would anger Jackson Jr.)
“Gov. Pat Quinn, what do you think about today’s indictment of Sen. Rod Blagojevich?”
I don’t see it. I like KR, and would welcome his being chosen, but I am not seeing it.
Neither do I–that’s why I added the postscript.
I don’t put much stock in Jefferson’s quote in that piece. He says he just heard of Tammy Duckwork (sic) being mentioned recently. Where’s he been?
And he sort of tossed in Kwame as an afterthought. I didn’t read it as being a big promo for him.
If Obama had his way in 2004-5, we might be talking about State Senator Will Burns taking the U.S. Senate seat. I like Sen. Raoul, but he wasn’t Obama’s choice then, and if Obama reveals his preferred replacement, I highly doubt it will be Raoul.
Is anyone reading the post script? Anyone?
I read the PS.
I think that, if anything, pissing off JJJ would be a good rational in Rod’s mind.
What’s more, the Reader recently reported that Emil is pushing Kwame.

I just have a feeling. That’s all.
Oh, right… read first, then post. Sorry, sometimes I skip the first step.
