Illinois Governor Puts Senate Up For Sale

The Governor of Illinois, with a name I can't pronounce, attempted to sell President Elect Obama's U.S. Senate seat. Is this such a bad idea?

He has sole power in naming a successor to Obama so why not sell it? Maybe he could net 5 or 6 million for it. Now I am not advocating he sell it for personal gain, I think he should sell it for state budget purposes. I am sure Illinois could use the money.

Whomever gets the seat will have to spend a lot more than 5 million to defend it, so it would be a good deal.

While he was at it he should of put his seat on EBay...I heard it will be open soon too.
