Reading today that my current jerk of a congressman is considering running if there's a special election, I'm inclined to agree
Actually, I'm kidding, it just means I'll vote against him a second time within one year. It's true that it would be expensive, but I can't think of a better way to ensure that our new senator is cleanly picked and unencumbered by the idiocy of Blago.
Lt. Gov. Quinn has come out in support of a special election as well, so it doesn't seem he has much interest in making the pick.
