Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich is running out of options- the Illinois AG is threatening to go to the state supreme court to have him declared unfit for office, the state legislature is probably going to start moving towards impeachment- as well as drafting legislation to take away his power to appoint a Senator.
And, thus far: Blago won't go.
I don't know what this idiot is thinking. I certainly can't see any way out of this for him- I mean, he can't appoint a Senator (the Senate won't seat whomever he appoints- plus the legislature might want to strip him of that power entirely) so he's got nothing there. There's speculation he might be holding onto his office as a 'bargaining chip' he can use for leniency with prosecutors, but if their case is as solid as they seem to think it is, then all they have to do is wait for either the AG, State Supreme Court or State Legislature to throw this guy out and then charge him.
I can't see any winning scenario for the Governor in this. So why stay, other than arrogance or hubris? You got caught with all ten of your dirty little fingers in a very dirty pie. Own up, take the rap and good luck to you. You'll probably need it.
