BILL CLINTON POISED TO BECOME NEW YORK’S FIRST BLACK SENATOR

If Hillary Clinton is elected president, then New York Governor Elliot Spitzer would appoint someone to fill the open senate seat for the remaining two years of her term. "I think there’d be a real call on Spitzer to appoint a black senator,” said Clinton ally, Harold Ickes. “If our first black President, Bill Clinton, fails to become the first black vice president as Obama’s running mate, then he could be the first black senator from New York. Any way you slice it, we’re just lucky his mother had an African-American child.”
