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.
