Remember back in 2004 when Politics1 noted several members of Congress had bizarre ties to the Moonies - including taking part in ceremonies where some of them were crowned? Rep. Davis (D-IL) was one of those members. I understand the push to name another African-American to that Senate seat, but there are a lot of other African-American possibilities (Valarie Jarrett, Donne Trotter, Jesse Jackson Jr and Roland Burris among them) who don't have such questionable associations (to put it as politely as possible).
