Video: Illinois Wants a Special Election to Replace Obama in the Senate
Illinois Democrats have determined that a special election might place Barack Obama’s U.S. Senate seat at risk. So, while Demcorat Governor Hot Rod blagojevich twists in the wind regarding trying to sell the seat, they abandon the process to give Illinois voters a chance to fill the seat directly.
The script:
ANNOUNCER:
“Rod Blagojevich embarrassed Illinois and tried to sell our Senate Seat.
And now Blagojevich’s campaign chairmen are refusing to hold a special election and playing political games.
Blagojevich Democrats said they’d support a special election and went back on their word.
The people of Illinois – embarrassed again.
We should choose our own Senator to represent us – not the politicians in Chicago and Springfield.
We demand a voice.
Call Speaker Madigan and President Jones. Tell them we want a special election.”
Chances of a special election?
Slim and none.
The Illinois Democrats will replace Hot Rod (eventual resignation) with Democrat Lt. Governor Pat Quinn and Quinn will appoint an interim caretaker Democrat while the machine readies another Dem in two years.
Stay tuned…….
