Chicago Tribune calls for special election if Burris seat opens up

As of this writing Sen. Roland Burris (D-Blagojevich) is still in office. If he does resign, the Chicago Tribune is calling for a special election to determine who will replace him. That is something, I have to keep mentioning this, the senior senator from Illinois, Dick Durbin, came out for, until it came to him that a Republican could win Barack Obama's old seat.
