Well, it definitely won’t be Emil Jones.
A possible compromise candidate would be Danny Davis. He’s aging (over 65), but as obvious a bench warmer as Jesse White. He’s a Marxist, but personable. He probably wouldn’t seek a full term.
If Blago appoints someone who is unacceptable to Obama (and I think we all know what that means), he’ll go down in the primary with Obama’s tacit approval.
Davis personable ? From what I’ve seen, he’s just another vile, race-baiting a$$hole.
