The Illinois Republican Party is getting aggressive when it comes to the Senate selection in Illinois, and they have a great point: the whole structure of Democratic alliances in Illinois make any appointment by either the Governor or the Lt. Governor suspect.
As the ILGOP notes:
Today FriendsofBlago.com unveiled the tainted connection Lt. Governor Pat Quinn has to Rod Blagojevich. In 2006, Pat Quinn said he saw nothing wrong with Blagojevich’s 7 year-old daughter receiving a $1,500 check from a family friend whose wife had just obtained a state job.
According to Kristen McQueary of the Southtown Star: “As recently as October 2006, after Tony Rezko’s indictment, Quinn was out stumping for Blagojevich. He held news conferences attacking Republican gubernatorial candidate Judy Baar Topinka. He said he believed Blagojevich did nothing wrong, despite the Rezko indictment.”
“We cannot trust Rod Blagojevich’s Lieutenant Governor to make the right decision when it comes to choosing our next senator,” said McKenna. “The people of Illinois deserve to have a say in this selection.”

Great idea

Looking forward to seeing friendsofjaynixon.com soon.

JLenardDetroit Saturday, December 13th at 4:22PM EST (link)All kinds of corrupt (or cya of the nepotism at best) alliances (the Blagojevich saga/drama continues) coming together there to force out BlahGo and move Lt-Gov up…. and there are people that think that he then isn’t going to keep the same Trading-Favors going!?!?
There is simply NO EXCUSE for them to not make a permanent change to require SPECIAL ELECTION (or as I contend Let State Senate pick w/o Gov say to protect integrity of candidates and the pick process which should be adopted by EVERY STATE IMO). Not like future situations are not going to lend themselves to the same problems.

We are going to need to still push for a special election to senate seat even if this happens.
push even more...
JLenardDetroit Saturday, December 13th at 4:54PM EST (link)It is a sign that IL Democrats REFUSE TO LET VOTERS OF IL have any say… It is still very much an issue that IL CORRUPTION and the Buddy-Buddy system of the Democrats is what matters to them and NOT what best serves the people of IL. This needs to be stressed over and over and over again…. Beat them to death with it…. We need some 527 Ad money flooding Ads to the IL (entire State) airwaves about this….
