The U.S. Senate will not seat a Blago appointment, even if he makes it.
Impeachment proceedings take time, and no one is interested in waiting months until all of that is done for Lt. Gov. Quinn to take over and make the appointment.
A special election makes a lot of sense. As for the Republicans, a special election wouldn't be terrible for them either because they can ride on the wave of disgust over Blago, who is a Democratic governor.
Rekna: I find your opposition to a special election interesting. Why not have a special election? As a Democratic-leaning resident of Illinois, I think a special election is the best way to go, and I say this knowing full well that it could lead to a Republican senator taking over when the seat was otherwise guaranteed to be held by a Democrat.
