10. Try to move it quickly ... Just remember Andy Card's warning - "From a marketing point of view, you don't introduce a new Senate Seat in August."
9. Get it placed in a few movies, or television shows, and people will line up to buy it like Happy Soup!
8. Ticket brokers, but you have to be careful of the various states that have "scalping" laws.
7. Talk to Sarah Palin, cut her in, and maybe you can package it with the Bridge to Nowhere.
6. Two words - Time Share!
5. If you're willing to put "GoldenPalace.Com" on it, you could get millions!
4. You could get Billy Mays, butit's a tougher sell if the seat doesn't mend something.
3. eBay, but it probably would sell faster if it had an image of the Virgin Mary with it.
2. Holy Cow! ... Too bad Phil Rizzuto died ... Think of the potential - "Hi, I'm Phil Rizzuto, from the Senate Seat Store" ... You could have sold it like hotcakes!
1. SenateSeat! ... Apply directly to Rod Blagojevich! ... SenateSeat! ... Apply directly to Rod Blagojevich! ... SenateSeat! ... Apply directly to Rod Blagojevich! ...

Mr. Duffy,
This is an awesome top ten list, you should post this to my buddy's site http://www.toptentopten.com/ and you can link back to your site. They are looking for content and in return provide a user base that can track back to your site. The coolest feature is you can let other people vote on the rankings of your list.
