Shaar enters the mind of madness and comes back a bit crazy.
The five:

1) Duckworth

2) Jones

3) JJJ

4) LMadigan

5)  Davis

Nevermind that Lisa has said she has less than a zero percent chance of getting the spot–go ahead and opine it anyway.

This is a primary and general of one person–a person who has achieved a 13 percent approval rating and thinks he still can run for a 3rd term.  That kind of thinking defies logic and reality as one should assume his thinking about a replacement will.  He’s not seeking out advice from others and even when done relatively quietly such as Durbin has done, Blagojevich through his people threw a hissy fit that Durbin was grandstanding (oh, the irony was thick).  There are no likely replacements, there are possibilities–several million of them who are over 30 years of age, are US citizens and have been for 14 years (that’s off of memory so sue me if I’m off on the number) and will be citizens of Illinois on the day they are appointed (presumably leaving me in the running since I could move back).

I know everyone wants to chime in on the decision and such and I’m no different.  However, this is one of the few cases where there really is no point.
Though if the mad man chooses Hull or Raoul, I’m taking credit.
