Special election or special auction? Sounds like if they played it
right, Illinois might get to alleviate some of their financial woes if
they simply put the various offices up for bid.

Only if they did it legally. Unfortunately, Illinois and
particularly Chicago, doesn't see the advantage in being legal. The
interesting historical tidbit is that the incorporation election for
Chicago is suppose to have been swayed by the wholesale importation of
immigrant workers off a nearby canal project. Yep, Chicago is based
on vote fraud from the get-go.

But hey, Barak says he knows nothing about this. I don't know
which is worse, that he doesn't know, or that he believes we'll
believe a Chicago politician.

It was an idea as dumb as a winger & Obama is smart.
QED not involved.
The local dems have been much against the gov
& wondering if he's crazy for some time anyway.
Perhaps they suspected he had become a winger.
