13. I wouldn't have a problem with this....but it wouldn't make any sense for Rahm

17. Thats ALL we need....

..ANOTHER Conservative Republican in the Senate!

18. Did a fast google on this.

Got two hits, both dated Dec 15th. One was a panel on Fox where they were simply speculating about it. The other was on Michael Savage's page say Rahm would resign as one of the first victims of the Blago Scandal.

As much as I would love to see his ass out of there, this story has no legs at the moment. Unrec.
