Hopefully EMILY'S List lobbies Robin Kelly or Kimberly Lightford. I'd support both

Illinois would probably elect him, but it would seriously diminish his ability to play elder statesmen/party elder role for a few years

Can't Obama come back and run? Does he want to?

He could, but he would have to campaign for Senate while still serving as the President. That would be bad.

Down in Texas we call it "tacky." Hence my belief that it'd diminish his influence.

He could. Andrew Johnson did it, and John Quincy Adams served in the House. However, it's not going to happen. I also think Michelle running is a liberal dream too. It'd be nice, and someone of her statue could probably win, but also extremely wishful thinking.

She won't run in 2016 obviously, but maybe at the next crossroads? 2020 is it? Just like Hillary ran for the Senate in 2002. Smiley

Hillary ran in 2000.

I could support Robin Kelly. She's lost statewide before for Treasurer but not by a lot.
