Gov. Rod Blagojevich
Gov. Rod Blagjevich tried doing something totally out of the ordinary. He tried to sell the vacant Senate seat, left by President Elect Barack Obama, to the highest bidder. After this was discovered, he abruptly tapped Attorney General Roland Burris to fill his spot.
People are now trying to keep Burris from taking this spot because of the controversy surrounding Blagjevich. Blagjevich says that he is not going to give up his fight for this seat. However, he was initially rejected because his certificate of appointment was missing Jesse White’s signature. It will be interesting to see how this turns out.
