Color me unsurprised

Race enters fight over filling Obama's Senate seat.

FTA:

Senate Democrats on Tuesday vowed not to seat embattled Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich's pick to fill the vacancy left by President-elect Barack Obama, prompting a House Democrat to object to the nation's only prospective black senator being denied a seat.

Rep. Bobby Rush of Illinois told reporters that Senate Democrats should not "hang and lynch the appointee as you try to castigate the appointer."

BTW, Bobby Rush is a former Black Panther. Stay classy, Dems.
