It takes on added significance because it was the Senate seat of Obama. The senate seat is the least of Blago's problems. The reason the senate seat factors into this mess is because Fitzgerald did not want Blago making a senate selection while under indictment and gaining financial remuneration.

The way it's being reported, along with the way Chicago-style politics is being accepted as normal, it seems the only true "crime" is that Blagojevich was stupid and got caught. You think this is the first time there has been a quid pro quo in politics? Man are you naive; everything is quid pro quo in politics. Blogos crime is that he was way too crude, and he was recorded.
