Illinois Republicans want answers on old Obama Senate seat

The stench surrounding disgraced Gov. Rod Blagojevich's choice of a successor for Barack Obama's old Senate seat won't go away.

The Illinois Republican Party is demanding answers from Attorney General Lisa Madigan and House Speaker Michael J. Madigan.

GOP spokesman Lance Trover says serious questions have been raised after The Associated Press reported former Gov. Rod Blagojevich had considered Lisa Madigan for President Barack Obama's former U.S. Senate seat.

Trover says voters need to know of any involvement by either Madigan in the Blagojevich corruption allegations.

Lisa Madigan is the daughter of the state House Speaker, who is also chairman of the Illinois Democratic Party. Lisa is pondering a 2010 run for either governor or senator.
