Rahm to Blago: Keep My Seat "Warm"

Just a day after the Obama team released their internal report on the contact anyone in the administration had with Gov. Rod Blagojevich, the Sun-Times is reporting that incoming Chief of Staff - and still currently Fifth Congressional District Rep. - Rahm Emanuel had a conversation with Blago over one day returning to his Congressional post. It seems Rahm is/was interested in one day becoming U.S. Speaker of the House. State law calls for a special election to be held to replace Emanuel, but Rahmbo apparently "broached with Blagojevich the subject of finding a candidate to temporarily fill the seat. But Emanuel isn't accused of promising something in return." This story just won't go away.
