<p>Yeah, i got a nom from obama. they went out the friday before he resigned. and i have an appointment now so i think i might be taking his last spot, or whoever the new senator is. as an aside, thank goodness blagojevich wasn’t able to sell away that senate seat. makes you proud to live in illinois huh? i know durbin and his board look over the nomination packets about this time of the month. His website stated they would start reviewing in early December. </p>
<p>I just had an interview with my Representative’s office, and they said they would hopefully give out nominations by the end of the year. what district are you in?</p>
<p>and since the senators talk with each other they very rarely give out nominations to the same person. so in reality the top 20 or so candidates get senatorial nominations</p>
