Well I will say one thing that will hurt Palin is that she will be out of the national spot light for two years. That could be a good thing or bad thing as she will need to remake her image from being a ditz to the powerful political figure she actually is in Alaska. But I would think in late 2010 when eyes turn back to the Presidential Election after the mid terms, people are going to start going "Palin who?"
Anyway Chicago Tribune is reporting two sources have confirmed that Rahm Emanuel also had a number of conversations with Blagojevich's office, and gave a list to Blagojevich's office about which choices would be acceptable to Obama. The conversations may have even been caught on wire tape.
The question now becomes if there was a discussion of Quid Pro Quo and if so does Obama fire his Chief of Staff before the inauguration even takes place. I don't think I have to explain that firing Rahm would be politically deadly for the Obama Administration.
