Source: Illinois State Senator to Likely to Fill Obama's Senate Seat
Which means "source" doesn't know any more than I knew when Jones announces he was leaving the Illinois Senate President's office to someone else.

Anyone else notice the first paragraph of that release says IL-11, not VA-11?
Makes me wonder if someone in the Clerk Of The House's office is expecting the same from Jerry Weller. (Either that or someone wants to remind us here in the Prairie State that we're still short a Senator.)

Kissinger was NSA first under Johnson, then continued under Nixon and Ford, but that's not a Senate Confirmation post.
Adams kept Washington's Cabinet intact (State, Treasury, War, and Justice being the only Departments at the time). A perusal of the Senate Executive Journal does not show any confirmation votes for the holdovers.

The video says the ballots challenged there are in Fillmore County. The row of the STrib's table for that county is copied above; it shows 27 Coleman challenges (of which we saw 9 in the video, 7 McCain/Franken and 2 McCain/Abstain), and Franken at -15 votes based on the recount.
