18. Ok folks, I hate these blind comments from "an aide of Harry Reid"
The quotes about seating someone were made a few weeks ago and that first comment is from a blind source NOT from Harry Reid.. And the last comment from a "Democratic Officia who spoke on the condition of anonymity".

Seriously we'll wait and see.

It seems Blago picked someone who was very remote from all these scandals and looks to be nothing more than a seat filler until the special election comes up (I think someone mentioned the primaries in 2010 is the next scheduled statewide election - this doesn't have to happen in November).

When I see official comments from named sources that are either Harry Reid or noted as being someone who works for Reid or the democratic party - then I'll form an opinion
