How much is a resignation worth?

A spokesman for Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich says the governor hopes to "return to normalcy" two days after his arrest on corruption charges. Will the Gov. resign? “That’s something that obviously he’ll decide on his own,” the spokesman said.

Hmm. He’s accused of trying to sell appointment to President-elect Barack Obama’s now vacant Senate seat to the highest bidder. So, could he be hawking his resignation, too? How much will someone ante up to persuade the Gov. to go? Is Blago putting a price on his own buyout?
