Well, if Durbin has his way and gets an emergency election, there's still a good chance for her, methinks. Screw the remainder of whomever Blago thinks would make a good choice, Emil, Madigan, all that noise. I'm tired of these same people and the same names getting elected to office. I want someone appointed that will actually reflect the voice of the people and be like Fitzgerald and Duckworth, tough go-getters who damn the political machine and go out and kick some ass.

And I for one have to say hell no for the Rahm seat. She had enough backlash for living in the Eighth District, a few miles outside the Sixth, and running for Congress there. It'd be hell trying to convince the residents of the Fifth to let her represent them living a dozen miles away.

Gah. I just want to be the next Fitzgerald and kick these slimebuckets' asses.
