The Lt Gov will only become Gov if Blago is removed or resigns. It's very unlikely he will resign, and it's very questionable whether or not he will be removed before a replacement is needed. Senator Durbin has called for the state legislature to pass a law creating a special election, considering the circumstances now surrounding this appointment. The indications are that the legislature may do just that.
