Gov. Rod Blagojevich discusses his plans for filling President-elect Barack Obama’s Senate seat Wednesday, Nov. 5, 2008 in Chicago. Any number of statewide elected officials also could get the nod, ranging from Blagojevich, who is able to choose himself, to Comptroller Dan Hynes or Attorney General Lisa Madigan, both potential Democratic rivals for the governor in 2010.
