Con Con gets a big boost from recall vote

The Illinois House approved a measure yesterday afternoon that would allow voters to decide on a constitutional amendment that would allow the recall of statewide officials... including, not coincidentally, embattled Governor Rod Blagojevich.

Rich Miller's take on the move, linked above, is that the measure may sink without a trace in the State Senate, since that body is under the sway of Blogjevich ally Emil Jones. Other commentators seemed in agreement (this link is to a Prairie State Blue post; there several others I saw but did not link).

Seems to me, though, that voters will vote on the recall amendment anyway this November. Even if it is not on the ballot, Con Con will be. For many, that will be the same thing.
