So Illinois Governor, soon to be former governor, Rod Blagojevich is set to name the replacement for Obama's Senate seat. Yes, even though he is getting impeached, he wants to name the new Senator.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said that the Senate would not accept any choice made by Blagojevich who is accused of trying to sell the President-Elect's former post.

Blagojevich's choice is Former Comptroller and Former Illinois Attorney General Roland Burris. Burris was the first African American to hold a statewide government post in Illinois.
