we’ve had so much fun imagining who spitzer/blago might appoint to the senate should hillary/obama win the presidency, let’s think about who the WORST appointees would be.
Obama’s seat: Oprah. controversal, unqualified and too much quid pro quo.
Hillary’s: fran dreshure (is that spelled right?) she’s actually said in us news washington whispers that she wants the seat.

The idea of picking Fran Dresher is almost too much to bear. So I wonder if Spitzer is fervently praying for Hillary to win – or the opposite. If she vacates her seat, he gets the chance to please at least one political constituency with his selection of her replacement.
OTOH, since there isn’t one obvious choice, he might wind up pissing off a whole lot more factions than he satisfies. So maybe he’d prefer not to be in that position altogether.
That is ridiculous that it would even be considered because it wouldn’t. Of the possible ones? Lisa Madigan. She’s mostly a machine pol. I’d much rather Jackson or something like that.
In New York? I don’t know. Maybe some rich businessman or something. I don’t know a lot of NY politics.
Dennis Hastert and Rudy Giuliani 😛 (didn’t say anything about staying within the Democratic party lol)
. . . the worst replacement would be Blagojevich himself!
