IL-Gov: Bill Daley considering run

[RogueBeaver]

Demolition derby incoming? Question to Illinoisans- does his clientele overlap with Madigan's or not?

So Brady, Rutherford, potentially Schock in the Pub primary?

[RogueBeaver]

How would the primary calculus change if Schock ran? Apparently he's had some initial meetings with the RGA already. A bit hard because he'd have to vacate his House seat (IL doesn't have LBJ laws, amirite?), depending on when the filing deadlines are for each race.

Rutherford's probably favoured as the conservative candidate if Schock doesn't run, as Vosem and I mentioned earlier.

Daley is doing some polling, but he's toyed with this before only to back away.

PPP has Rutherford and Dillard narrowly leading Daley, Schock trailing by 5. There are also some other Pub state senators mentioned on Wiki, plus Chris Kennedy on the Dem side. In a 2-way primary Daley narrowly leads Quinn 37-34. What surprises me in that one is the # of undecideds: an incumbent governor and a Daley with nearly 20% undecided.
