14. I really hope he doesn't have the balls to try appointing someone. |

That would be really really bad.

19. After what that idiot did, I wouldn't be surprised if he made an appointment. |
|
He's got cojones as big as Bush's and a brain just as small as his, too.

or is impeached, he is still the governor.
I am making calls to my state rep and senator, begging them to go into special session and impeach him by Christmas. I would encourage all Illinois residents to do the same!

10. Unless nobody accepts his appointment |

And if he does, the Senate better turn them back. Hopefully Reid comes out and says he will reject anyone appointed by Blago.
