Bring On Pat Quinn

With Rod Blagojevich arrested for his free-market approach to picking Obama's Senate replacement, all eyes turn to Illinois Lt. Gov. Pat Quinn. Of course, they're not seeing much of anything, as his site has crashed, so don't bother clicking on that link too soon. Blagojevich has to actually resign or somehow be removed for Quinn to ascend, but I hope that'll happen relatively soon.

I have no idea who Quinn would pick to fill the seat, if he should become Governor.

Update
: "He’s from the progressive wing of the state Democratic party, and is very close with Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.)" Can I have a hooray for that? Schakowsky would be awesome.

Isn't Pat Quinn the former coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs?

I think so.
