Indeed, choosing himself is honestly one of the best options, both for Blago and for the Democratic party's chances of retaining the seat. It's just not the best option for Illinois.

An important issue is whether the pick would be capable of winning downstate. This is where Jesse Jackson Jr. fails. Even if he were an excellent senator, his name would curse him in downstate IL when running for re-election.
