Methinks we haven't heard the last of his legal dealings.

Probably a good idea on his part. He needs to focus on his problems right now.

The Indictment is coming down the pike..

Must have gotten the disability pay he was holding out for.

I wonder why the left is eating one of their own....racism?

That took way too long.

It may cost more than 5 million dollars in taxpayer money to determine his successor. Ridiculous. I'd be okay if they threw out all his votes and declared the Republican candidate the winner since the results of his election aren't official yet. But that won't happen I'm guessing

Guessing you don't live in his district though, so your opinion counts for...?

I see another story where they list possible candidates to replace him. One of them is another of Jesse's sons lol.

The people who live in his district voted for him so their opinions count for...

Should have retired BEFORE the election though, 49r.. that's my big problem with this timing. Let a Democrat and Republican who are going to be in congress run in the election. (regardless of who won).

Now they get Quinn to appoint someone to the seat, so the will of the people (even those who voted for JJjr.) is completely circumvented.

I hear Blagojevich has a good broker that could find a buyer for this seat if the demcorats are hurting for cash.

Agreed. He should not have run for reelection.

Blagojevich embraces the free market and the right wing thinks it is bad?
