Not to parse but he said "he's talked to the governor" and "there are a range of names that have surfaced". He didn't say that he talked to the governor about a range of names. Read it again. I think Axelrod spoke sloppily.
depends on what your definition of is, is
probably right on rahm. he and obama and blago were close given that the first two helped run his two previous campaigns. rahm would have been the point man for any back and forth between the two camps and he did not want this blago mess staining their inauguration

And frankly there would have been nothing wrong with Obama or his people just sort of generally talking to Blago about some names or the type of the person who should fill the seat. That would be expected really. Only problem would be if he put undue pressure or obviously if he promised something in return. Clearly, he specifically did not go down that road.

My friends Mta6 is right. I am sure you are making way too much of this. I am sure if my running mate Sarah Palin was caught doing the same thing, Mta6 would also want to give her a pass. My esteemed friend President elect Obama is clear of any wrongdoing in this investigation. Tony Rezko may be a different story however, and who knows what secrets he can tell.

Amazing that this guy is still working ! At the least he should be suspended without pay until they get all the details. There is no reason this crook should be able to go to work freely. If you were a cop say and were under investigation, you'd be suspended, even if they didn't find you guilty yet. Unreal.
