Don't forget that if Blago choses himself and loses in the primary (which is painfully obvious), he'll have served just long enough to have earned the Senate pension and healthcare. That's no small thing. He'd also save whoever else he appointed from being run up the Republican flagpole as being directly linked to one of the most unpopular governors in state history, including the one who's currently in jail.
