Since I don't know, I'll ask. I saw that Biden won his bid for his state's senate seat. Since he's been "assigned" to another job, who gets his seat and how is it determined? Does his governor pick someone also?

- Yes.

I also thought that Blogo could say, "I'm the best man for the job if I don't end up going to jail like practically EVERY Illinois governor"

bush two obviously benefitted from who pop was--the republican party being a supporter is absolutely necessary for a candidate. you really think they'd have backed george 2 if his last name wasn't bush?
