- Blagojevich at home
The controversy over whether Barack Obama has been in contact with Gov. Rod Blagojevich about filling his vacated Senate seat took another turn,with two reports of alleged conversations now retracted by their sources. Obama told reporters yesterday he had no contact with Blagojevich about filling the seat. But a Nov. 5 news report said the president-elect planned to discuss the subject in a meeting with the Illinois governor that day. The report by KHQA-TV’s Carol Sowers originally was posted on the website of the Quincy,Ill.,station. The article said “one of Obama’s first priorities”on the day after his election was a meeting with Blagojevich planned that afternoon to discuss the Senate seat. A story by the Quincy station later that week indicated the meeting took place.
