Breaking News: Blagojevich Thumbs Nose At Senate Democrats

Illinois Governor Blagojevich just announced that he was required and thus was going to make a nomination for the vacant Senate seat. Roland Burris, the former Attorney General of Illinois, is Blagojevich's nominee.

Senate Democrats have said they will not allow a Blagojevich nominee to be seated and the state of Illinois may not even certify the selection.

This soap opera continues to dominate headlines. Poor guy seems like a pawn in a game that is way bigger than he is.
