Since I don't know, I'll ask. I saw that Biden won his bid for his state's senate seat. Since he's been "assigned" to another job, who gets his seat and how is it determined? Does his governor pick someone also?

- Yes.

I also thought that Blogo could say, "I'm the best man for the job if I don't end up going to jail like practically EVERY Illinois governor"

bush two obviously benefitted from who pop was--the republican party being a supporter is absolutely necessary for a candidate. you really think they'd have backed george 2 if his last name wasn't bush?

Governor of Florida

Jeb Bush, Governor of the State of FloridaIn 1998, Bush defeated the Democratic opponent Lt. Governor Buddy MacKay by over 418,000 votes (2,191,105; 55.3% to 1,773,054; 44.7%) to become Governor of Florida, after courting the state's moderate voters and Hispanics. Simultaneously, his brother, George W. Bush won a landslide re-election victory for a second term as Governor of Texas, and the Bush brothers became the first siblings to govern two states at the same time since Nelson and Winthrop Rockefeller governed New York and Arkansas from 1967 to 1971. Bush is the first Republican governor of Florida to have served two full four-year terms.
