the IL state Democratic party doesn't seem to mind catapulting their prospects into the big leagues. I would say she'd be their first choice internally--but at the same time, if Rahm wants the job, he has enough sway to turn the machine in his favor. If he intends to challenge, they won't run Duckworth (even though she lost her house bid by only two points, another loss and she'll be used goods).

Not in Clinton's case. I'd say probably not in Obama's either. |

The senator(s) that are appointed would face election in 2010. |

Like you say, I think she has her eyes on Blago's seat. |

I seriously doubt Rahm would give up a powerful position in the House to become a junior senator. |

Duckworth lost her bid, but narrowly, and in Henry Hyde's district. Keep in mind |
