The governor accused of trying to sell Barack Obama's seat in the Senate faced growing pressure to resign yesterday as the president-elect called on him to step aside. ( Obama calls on governor in Senate seat scandal to quit )
The call from Obama came as Rod Blagojevich turned up for work as usual 24 hours after the FBI arrested him at his home and accused him of setting a new low in corruption for his haggling over the price of a Senate seat.
(Good for Obama. However there are still questions that our next President needs to answer like had he talked to the governor about who should replace him. I also agree with others like Cal Thomas mp3 and some leaders in IL. who says now there should be an election to decide who the next Sen. from that state is. This doesn't look pretty and I won't be shocked if it gets worse as more information comes out.)
