Senator Roland Burris will not run for Senate seat. Will make announcement tomorrow. Main reason – no money – he raised less than $1K from Jan – March.
He is also still under investigation by the Senate Ethics Committee.
Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan bowed out of the senate seat and governor race yesterday and said she will run for re-election.
So who’s left?
barry’s basketball buddy, State Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias for sure.
Cheryle Jackson, president of the Chicago Urban League (also worked for blago).
RFK’s son, Chris Kennedy, who runs the Merchandise Mart is “tremendously” interested but “not prepared to announce a decision at this time.”
My choice would be Tammy Duckworth but barry made sure she wouldn’t be available by appointing her Head of Veterans Affairs.
