Will “Obama’s Senate Seat” end up in GOP Hands?
Flaming Politics Dec 10 08Follow this: Let’s say that the Illinois Legislature, in a pique of disgust over Governor Blagojevich’s attempted “selling” of Obama’s vacated Senate seat, rushes back to Springfield (that’s Springfield, IL, our state capitol, not Springfield from the Simpsons, although you can easily confuse the two) and changes state law to strip the Governor of his .
