Gov. Blagojevich will Seat African American, Senate says No

Illinois Governor Blagojevich will hold a news conference at 3 p.m. ET Tuesday to announce his pick to replace President Elect Obama’s Senate seat.  He is expected to seat the only what would be the only African-American Senator.  The AP is reporting that the Seante will not seat Blagojevich’s pick.  The problem comes that if this man is qualified, it would be difficult for the Senate not to seat a quailified African-American to the seat.  If the pick is then excepted, the Senate send the messages that the Governor still has authority.
