If Roland Burris Gets Bounced Or Resigns Who Would Gov. Quinn Appoint In His Place?...... |
|
Just curious as to who Quinn might favor in Roland's place? Or would it go to a special election? What's the latest thinking on this?

2. Ummm, how about the best person for the job? |
|
And preferably, NOT someone who raises funds for Gov. Quinn.

3. The governor still fills any vacancy. |
|
People like Lisa Madigan and Alex Giannoulias probably have their eye on the seat. I think Jesse Jackson Jr. is too stained by the Blago mess to be a credible candidate.
Both probably also have eyes on the governor's mansion next year as well, which could allow Quinn to do away with a potential opponent should he seek reelection.

4. Lots of people in IL are calling for a special election. It might happen. It would be bad news. |
