Media on Shaky Lisa's Legal Snub

What are the media saying about Legally Shaky Lisa Madigan's snub by the Illinois Supreme Court. NO MORE HACKS!!! We want a special election, no smelly appointments by Blago or his Dem friends who have run this state into the gutter and bankruptcy:

ABC News’ Rick Klein – “The easy way out for state Democrats has just been slammed shut.”

The ruling keeps the onus on the state legislature -- which has just begun what could be long impeachment proceedings -- to seek Blagojevich’s removal. In short, the easy way out for state Democrats has just been slammed shut.

The Hill – “GOP said … latest evidence that the state legislature should declare a special election.”

The state GOP said the court’s decision is the latest evidence that the state legislature should declare a special election.

National Journal’s Hotline – “GOPers … are using the Supreme Court's ruling to continue to push for a special election.”

While that avenue to anti-Blagojevich forces may be closed, impeachment proceedings are moving forward in the state legislature. GOPers, however, are using the Supreme Court's ruling to continue to push for a special election. … Last week, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) was one of many Dems to call for a special election, but the party appears to have backed away from that idea. Some believe an '09 SEN special election may benefit GOPers, as the poisonous cloud that surrounds Blagojevich may still be hovering over Dems.
