In a heartbeat is my belief.

Pat Quinn’s management style has been described negatively.

Micro-manager, etc.

And how would he get to the United States Senate?

If Roland Burris resigns, he could appoint himself.

I would argue that his political style, based on advocacy of causes (relevant or not), is much better suited to a U.S. Senator than a governor.

And who would succeed Quinn as Illinois governor?

Attorney General Lisa Madigan.

That’s what her Dad wants, right?

House Speaker and Illinois Democratic Party Chairman Mike Madigan probably agree to raise enough money to allow Quinn to put on a decent came in the 2010 election.
