Monday so says the Huffington Post.
If this is the case, I think a lot of Dems may give a big sigh of relieve. I think Lt Gov Quin would be able to appoint Obama's senate seat replacement, that is if Gov Blago dosen't appoint someone as a parting gift. I'm surprise some accounts have it that the Lt Gov Quin haven't spoken to Gov Blago since mid 2007, I find that amazing if it's true. The top two elected state officials don't communicate. Makes for good election slogans.
Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, who finished a tumultuous work week with a visit to a federal courthouse, may announce his decision on whether or not to resign from office as early as Monday, the Chicago Sun-Times, citing an anonymous "source close to the governor" reports:
"He was blindsided by this," the source said. "He needs some time to digest what's going on. He's going to make his position clear shortly."
On Friday, in his first public comments since his arrest, the governor did not rule out the possibility he might resign. As he left the federal courthouse after a visit to the pretrial services office, a reporter asked the governor, "Do you have anything to say to the people of Illinois?"
He replied, "I will at the appropriate time. Absolutely."
"Are you going to resign?" the reporter asked.
"I'll have a lot to say at the appropriate time,"
