Are you kidding? There would be a stampede of potential candidates to register in January. There could actually be serious dangers to the general public with all the Democrats rushing to get signatures to clerks.
The thing is that this is Blago's decision only. Other people get "input", and he'll ignore them. He recently said that he wants to be re-elected governor, but his chances of that are virtually nil, even with a year to go in his 2nd term. This is his one chance to stay in any sort of office.
