For Illinois, I am not on the Lisa Madigan bandwagon. I think there is a ton of talent in the Chicago area congressional districts that can be in the Senate some day. I'm looking for a Robin Kelly, Tammy Duckworth, Jan Schakowsky, Mike Quigley, Luis Gutierrez, or Cheri Bustos (the only non-Chicago area) nomination. They are all incredibly talented.
I would love for Cheri Bustos to run for Senator. I think she would be a moderate; maybe a Blue Dog? I think she would also do well in Downstate Illinois; they wouldn't consider her just another Chicago Democrat.
I'm sure she would be taken as a Blue Dog, but she's not really that moderate.
