What will Blagojevich's arrest do to David Paterson, the other governor who needs to fill a vacant senate seat? This one for New York, which will be vacated by Hillary Clinton when she takes over as the Secretary of State.
He needs to take extra pains to ensure that it doesn't look like he received anything in return for the seat, or fell under anyone's influence.
It has been said that Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-MA) has been privately lobbying for his niece Caroline Kennedy to fill the seat, however since this has been widely known to the press, Paterson may be under pressure to instead install a more outside figure so as to appear unbiased by the powerful family name and legacy.
