What Will Happen To Obama’s Seat?

WASHINGTON: Sen. Richard Durbin of Illinois says the state’s legislature should order a special election to fill President-elect Barack Obama’s vacant Senate seat rather than allow Gov. Rod Blagojevich to pick a new senator.

Blagojevich was arrested Tuesday in connection with allegations he sought favors to influence his choice for Obama’s replacement.

Durbin told reporters in Washington, “No appointment by this governor, under these circumstances, could produce a credible replacement.”

He urged the Illinois legislature to quickly set up a special election.

Senator Durbin shines his headlights on the only easy way out of this whole mess.
