Illinois political insiders say Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. ... is the favorite to replace the Democratic nominee in the Senate.

...

But Jackson Jr.’s path is by no means assured. Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) also wants to replace Sen. Obama (Ill.) in the upper chamber if he is elected president.

This gives Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, who must choose between an African-American political scion and a close ally of the labor movement, a difficult decision.

...

Rep. Rahm Emanuel (Ill.), the Democratic Caucus chairman, has also been floated as a possible successor.

...

Blagojevich may go outside the Illinois House delegation. One possible candidate would be Tammy Duckworth, director of the Illinois Department of Veterans’ Affairs. Duckworth, who is Asian-American, could serve as a compromise candidate on the race question.

...

Another possibility would be Emil Jones Jr., president of the Illinois Senate, whom some Chicago insiders credit with Obama’s rise through the state chamber.

...

If John McCain, the GOP nominee, wins the White House, Napolitano faces an even trickier decision in Arizona. Unlike most states, Arizona law requires that Napolitano appoint someone from McCain’s party to fill his seat.

...

Arizona political insiders speculate that Napolitano would like to run for Senate when term limits force her from office in 2010.

...

One Arizona strategist said it is therefore in Napolitano’s interest to appoint a Republican successor who would be vulnerable to defeat in 2010.

Man is made by his belief. As he believes, so he is.

I particularly like the comment about Napolitano appointing a loser to replace McCain so she has a shot the next time around. Self serving? :)

The theory is, if he's not elected, then the senate seat isn't open and Jesse Jackson Jr doesn't get to stand for that seat. Logic at its very best :D

It must be the Republicans fault, or better yet, Palin's.

Do I sense some whining today?

:lol: Never. :devil:
