The Buzz: Valerie Jarrett For Senate?

Valerie B.Jarrett, a trusted adviser to Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama, may also be a candidate to succeed him in the U.S. Senate if he should win the White House.
In recent weeks, Jarrett's name has surfaced within the state's tightly-knit political and financial circles as a viable possibility for the Senate slot, according to a highly-placed Obama source. Those discussions were confirmed by another high-level Democratic Party operative and corporate source.
An Obama presidential win would open up his Illinois senate seat and, under state law, Gov. Rod Blagojevich must name someone to serve Obama's remaining term.
I don't mean to make this sound more mysterious than it merits. But I've agreed to keep my sources on background. Also note that it's unclear where this "Jarrett-for-Senate" push originated, or if Obama has participated in any of the recent discussions.
Early last week, while working on another Obama story, I came across this information about Jarrett. At that time, I asked the Obama campaign--which is handling press inquiries pertaining to Jarrett's relationship with the Obama election effort --to respond. I've yet to receive an answer.
A strong case can be made for naming Jarrett to the Senate.
True, she's never held elected office but has been in politics much of her adult life--running various top agencies for Mayor Richard M. Daley.
Moreover, she's made her mark in the private sector, where she's currently CEO of real estate developer The Habitat Co. and is highly-regarded within Chicago's political and corporate elite. To read her resume, click here.
On top of these accomplishments, Jarrett is a close friend and confidant of Obama and his wife Michelle. Jarrett was an early and influential Obama-backer and remains extremely loyal to him. As an African-American woman, Jarrett would also bring some much-needed minority representation to the country's upper chamber.
While naming someone to succeed Senator Obama is Blagojevich's call, Obama will have a lot of influence on that decision. Other names that have surfaced include: U.S. Rep Jesse Jackson Jr., State Treasurer and Obama buddy Alexi Giannoulias, , Tammy Duckworth, director of the Illinois Department of Veterans’ Affairs, and Rep. Jan Schakowsky.
That's just some of the contenders.
There's even talk that Blagojevich would name himself and beat a hasty exit from Springfield. Don't count on that happening, however.
Senator Valerie Jarrett? That may also be a long shot.
Conventional wisdom is she'll take an upper-level job on Obama's staff or within his administration. Of course, that's provided Obama wins.

My .02 on this... The governor is narcissistic enough to appoint himself senator. I think we should encourage that. We get him out of Springfield, er where ever it is he rules from. He becomes a lame duck, short-term senator no one will reelect and, viola, we're Blago free in 2 years.

buy lindens is the step process and is the required step for our players have to do. I think that it is right and required, because nothing is free and in particular the cheap linden in Second Life game. You do not have to spend second life linden, you can be as solitary as you want to be too. Once you get through the orientation you will be well on your way to exploring the ways of making linden dollars. So instead I am going to give you some secondlife money and the tip of the iceberg.
Scions Of Fate gold is sometimes need to pay for in this Scions of Fate game. For example in this game, we have to buy sof gold to exchange premium in order to protect our character. The only part of this game will require you to pay SOF gold but they are optional for you to choose in the premium store. One very common item bought with cheap SOF gold at the store would be a pet. The Gameim.com is offering you with Scions Of Fate money and all kinds of cheap game gold.

Internet Limits, Bill Daley and Obama.sportsbook It's three posts in one!Those who believe the Internet is an unlimited force of nature are in for a surprise. Now comes word that Comcast will limit customers Internet usage starting Oct. 1.The cable TV/Internet/phone service provider says its running out of capacity to service all its customers, so it has to force big users to cut back or pay more.
So much for the myth that the Internet is without constraint.
Already, media empires, e-commerce players, entrepreneurs and global corporations, which are tailoring business models to depend on the World Wide Web, are finding the Internet is straining to meet demand and that Net capacity is more taxed than ever before.march madness
Which underscores a fact of business life: Whether its the information superhighway or a concrete highway, infrastructure must constantly be improved and upgraded. And that can be expensive.www.canadacasino.comCompanies may think the Internet is a perpetual free ride but it's quickly becoming a toll road.
