So I'm going to venture that asking how much he paid for his elected seat is a low blow.
A senate seat is an ELECTED, not appointed, position. The only reason that the senate seat is up for bid now is that in the case of a sitting senator in IL giving up his seat, the governor gets to appoint a replacement- a policy that I don't understand at all, since it is ripe for abuse, and already there is a lot of clamor to change it.
This belongs in Politics or Current Events, by the way.
