Question about Madigan: [View all]

My son insists that Lisa Madigan will not run for governor as long as her father is Speaker of the House in Illinois and chairman of our state party. I don't see why not. She is a great attorney general, and I think she would be a great governor. It is time.

Is there any law against it?

Madigan is 73. I sure hope he is grooming someone to be as powerful and ruthless as he is. (I don't think it will be a family member). With The Ruiner in office, we may need someone in the near future, someone who knows how to use power the way Madigan does.

I have not gone to Springfield for Governor's Day, which will now be Democrats' Day, for a couple of years. This might be a good year to do it. I would like to hear what people are saying about ways to combat The Ruiner, and who will run for governor the next time around.
