So let me understand this - Next IL Senator?
 

I am watching ABC News now, and they just said that Blago(IL Governor) will ASSIGN the next IL Senator?

Yes..that's how it works

That is correct.

Oh now that is comedy

Jan Schakovsky
Tammy Duckworth
or whoever Emile Jones tells him to

Since I don't know, I'll ask. I saw that Biden won his bid for his state's senate seat. Since he's been "assigned" to another job, who gets his seat and how is it determined? Does his governor pick someone also?

- Yes.

I also thought that Blogo could say, "I'm the best man for the job if I don't end up going to jail like practically EVERY Illinois governor"

Maybe IL gov will pick Ozzie Guillen

Could be Biden's kid

I'm hearing some guy named Tom R is the front runner... Chicago Sun-Times reporting

Nepotism is a favorite tool of the Dems

41st president of the USA... George Bush

43rd president of the USA... George (W) Bush



Try again, Dimmy.

Elected, not appointed,Dipstick!

bush two obviously benefitted from who pop was--the republican party being a supporter is absolutely necessary for a candidate. you really think they'd have backed george 2 if his last name wasn't bush?

WOW....in hindsight you have 20/20 vision

2000? Appointed and annointed

Jeb Bush..remember him?

Jeb is not in the equation

Tim...he was the Governor of the most controversial state in election history...You don't think he made sure those recounts went the right way
Governor of Florida

Jeb Bush, Governor of the State of FloridaIn 1998, Bush defeated the Democratic opponent Lt. Governor Buddy MacKay by over 418,000 votes (2,191,105; 55.3% to 1,773,054; 44.7%) to become Governor of Florida, after courting the state's moderate voters and Hispanics. Simultaneously, his brother, George W. Bush won a landslide re-election victory for a second term as Governor of Texas, and the Bush brothers became the first siblings to govern two states at the same time since Nelson and Winthrop Rockefeller governed New York and Arkansas from 1967 to 1971. Bush is the first Republican governor of Florida to have served two full four-year terms.

Isn't his kid in Iraq right now though for the next 6 months?

I believe the Supreme Court had something to do with that! you're probably thinking of the VRWC,huh?
