From the Chicago Tribune: Former White House chief of staff Bill Daley plans to announce Tuesday that he's forming an exploratory committee as he weighs a Democratic primary challenge to Gov. Pat Quinn.
The move allows Daley to start raising money and not let the summer slip away as he waits to see whether he'll get a one-on-one matchup with Quinn in March. Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan also is thinking about running for the Democratic governor nomination, but it's unclear when she'll make that decision. It's also uncertain whether Daley will stay in should Madigan join the fray.
"I can control what I can control," Daley told the Tribune on Monday. "I'm not going to get into what-ifs: What if this person runs, doesn't run, wins this? I can't deal with that anymore, and I'm not going to."
The son of one former Chicago mayor and brother of another, Daley intends to unveil his new committee via a video at BillDaleyIllinois.com.
In the video, he lashes out at the at the state for dragging its heels on issues like gay marriage, pension reform and the "scourge" of guns in society. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/ct-met-illinois-governor-race-0611-20130611,0,1104838.story
Just what Illinois needs- an Obamaite to run Illinois into the ground, just like he did to Chicago and what Obama has done to the United States.
