[0:11] >> We now join our program in progress.

[0:13] >> Experience, my knowledge of Illinois,

[0:15] and my commitment to the public servant

[0:18] in my state. I know that I could take on

[0:21] that mantle and and and and do the work

[0:24] for the people. Well, don't you feel

[0:25] you're being used by someone who's just

[0:27] trying to save his political skin?

[0:31] >> Whatever means necessary uh uh uh that

[0:34] whatever I have nothing to do with the

[0:36] governor's motives, what we needed was

[0:39] something to be done for the people of

[0:40] Illinois. That was his constitutional

[0:43] duty. That was his responsibility. The

[0:45] the Illinois constitution does not say

[0:47] the governor may or the governor might

[0:51] governor shall appoint a person to fill

[0:54] the vacancy. That's what happened

[0:56] anyway.

[1:09] Absolutely. I am the junior senator from

[1:11] the state of Illinois. Thank you so

[1:12] much.

[1:13] >> Roland Burrus with CBS's Bob Schiffer on

[1:16] Face the Nation. Still ahead on Up to

[1:18] the Minute, it's judgment day for

[1:19] financeier Bernard Maidoff. We'll take a

[1:22] closer look at possible punishments and

[1:24] some new victims in the case.

[1:28] >> It's the money you could be saving with

[1:30] Geico. He's not much for conversation,

[1:33] but if he was, it would be a

[1:35] conversation about saving you money.

[1:38] >> Geico
