Isn't That Special?

This Chicago Tribune item just missed our HRH deadline, but Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D) announced the special election dates for ex-Rep. Rahm Emanuel's (D-IL 05) seat this afternoon. The primary election will be held 3/3, and the general will be on 4/7.
Emanuel formally resigned the seat 1/2, and Blagojevich had until 1/7 to pick the dates for the specials.
More than a dozen candidates have shown interest in the seat, but the Chicago Sun-Times' Lynn Sweet named state Rep. Sara Feigenholtz (D), Cook Co. Commis. Mike Quigley (D) and ex-TSA official Justin Oberman (D) as frontrunners in an 12/30 column.
