Jesse Jackson Jr. Favored as Sen. Obama’s Replacement
November 13th, 2008

Jesse Jackson Jr. favored as Sen. Obama’s replacement. U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. is a favorite among likely voters to fill the Senate seat being vacated by President-elect Barack Obama, a poll indicates. A Zogby telephone poll conducted last week shows that among 10 possible candidates, 21 percent say they think Democratic Gov. Rod Blagojevich should appoint Jackson to the seat when Obama leaves it vacant in January to become president, United Press International is reporting. The only other potential candidate to get double-digit support was Tammy Duckworth, a former Democratic congressional candidate from Chicago who accompanied Obama in a reef laying ceremony in the Midwest city on Tuesday. Fourteen percent of respondents said she should be appointed. In two prospective Senate races, Jackson would defeat Republican Congressman Ray LaHood by a 50 percent to 31 percent margin, the survey shows. The poll of 802 likely voters statewide has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.

JESSIE JR IS THE BEST CHOICE. MAYBE BARACK CAN FIND SOME THING IN HIS CABINET FOR HER(TAMMY DUCKWORTH).
WE DID IT. YES WE CAN.
IF SOME WANT JJ JR. TO BE APPOINTED I SAY MORE POWER TOO YOU. BUT TO ME I DONT LIKE IT BECAUSE JJ. SENIOR HAS HATED PRES. BARAK SINCE DAY ONE, NOW HIS SON WANTS HIS SENATE SEAT. MUST BE SOME TYPE OF JOKE.
BUT TO DAVID BLOGGING WAS CREATED BY WHITE PEOPLE THAT LIKE TO HIDE, TO SPEAK THEIR MINDS. MOST WHITES KNOW IF THEY EXPRESSED THEMSELVES IN PUBLIC, AN ASS KIKKING WOULD SHUT THEM UP. SO REMEMBER DAVID WE ARE USE TO CRACKERS LIKE YOUR- SELF. HIDE AND RUN THEN SPEAK YOUR MIND. GOOD JOB.
Please make note of the misspelling of a word in the captioned comments:
The comment about the other candidate who received double digit recommendations, Tammy Duckworth who accompanied President Elect Obama in a WREATH laying ceremony, not a reef laying ceremony. Ebony, watch your mechanics in relaying and printing the news.
Since when does the son of someone bear the brunt of the Father? In case you did not know, Jessie Jackson, Jr. is a different human being from his father with different thoughts and his own intellectual ideas. Just because he is the offspring of Jessie Jackson, Sr., does not make him the same as his Father. Do you recall an event when JJ, Sr. made an off color remark about the President Elect? Well, it was his son, JJ, Jr. who denounced the comments made by his Father and stated that they were uncalled for and inappropriate. The Jacksons have been close friends of the Obamas for many years. Michelle Obama and Santina Jackson are the very best of friends from childhood. What is wrong with any of this? Nothing as I thought.
Lynn, if you were capable of understanding what I said, you would have comprehended that I was not dissing the son, but rather the father. And I agree, children should not bejudged by their parents nor should anyone else for that matter be judged by someone else. So instead of getting defensive you should read the entire post, digest it and then make your comments. I wish JJ Jr all the best, because like Clarence noted above, it was JJ Jr who immediately distanced himself from his father’s comments and publicly stated that his father was wrong.
I believe that Jessie Jackson Sr. did a good job raising his son. His son has followed in his foot steps. I was always told that you will know what you have instilled in your children because it will all come out when they get grown. So my hat is off to the father Jessie and his son Jessie Jr. Let’s show some love for one another. The post David gave has set a bad spirit on this page. Love one another.
