Exactly same thing was going on in my head as I was reading the article. I'm really disappointed and sad, governor would choose a blue dog democrat in a solid democratic state. This proves that he is not only can't see with his eyes but also can't think with his brain. To me, I would take the gov. from IL (sorry can't spell his name) over this blind ass any time. At least he appointed someone who is in line with in term of policy with the person he is replacing.

Caroline Kennedy would have been excellent senator just like her uncle.
