In the wake of the scandal rocking Illinois, a merry prankster who goes by the screen name "
xthehaunting" has placed Barack Obama's Senate seat up on E-Bay. At last check, the going bid was $127.50. Governor Blagojevich has said the seat is "f***ing valuable," and that he wouldn't give it away for "f****ing nothing."
So, let the fictional bidding begin. How much is too much?

Our New Approach to Comments
In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers –
a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around.
