27. A cloud doesn't hang over just JJJ but anyone who is appointed now,
I really think in order to win back the trust of the people of Illinois they have no choice but to do a special election.

21. And if there is a special election, you can BET he will run
and win Chicago. Just depends on whether the Democratic Party wants to support him.

15. Why should he be slimed by this?
There's no blood sacrifice needed here. Damn, we need to push back on this.

19. If the Lt. Gov. chooses, he'll probably steer clear, but I'm sure JJJ would...
...run in a special election.

22. Do you think so? By the same logic, the most likely contenders
will be shut out. That seems draconian to me. :(

28. Sure. But the chances are, they will. Blago was going to work this
from the red to the rind. I just called Jackson's offices and pointed out that supporters outside the district have no way of commenting.

It's the fucking media that tears down whomever they choose just because they can. They are the ones making insinuations based on 2nd hand hersay. They are the ones who forgot that Gov. Blagoshit called our President Elect a Motherfucker. Where is their outrage about that?

We let them get away with smearing JJJ like this, who knows who they will go after next on the same basis with no proof.

30. Please, the f-ing media is America's worst enemy. They are trying to destroy JJJ
and do you know why? Because he is JJ's son, that's why! Blago is such an asswipe that is trying to smear JJJ.

36. YES! And F* those who tried to throw him under the bus
His qualifications are enough that he doesn't have to pay for a seat. Kudos to those who gave him the benefit of the doubt from the beginning to the end.
