Carole Moseley Braun may be planning Chicago mayoral run

Carole: Your six years in the senate were an embarrassment. Except for the several dozen supporters you had in Iowa, seemingly, your 2004 presidential run's sole purpose was to make Dennis Kucinich's support seem gargantuan. And now, according to Fran Spielman of the Chicago Sun-Times, you're considering a run for mayor of Chicago.

Carole move on. You've had you're time in the sun.

Here's what's in the Sun-Times today:

Is former Sen. Carol Moseley Braun (D-Ill.) laying the groundwork to run for mayor in 2007 -- either against Mayor Daley or if mounting corruption scandals cause Daley to walk away?

If she isn't, why did her brother -- a Chicago Police sergeant -- call the Fraternal Order of Police and ask about the timing of the FOP's mayoral endorsement?

An FOP official said Monday that Joe Braun, the former senator's brother, placed the call and told FOP officials in no uncertain terms that his sister would be a candidate for mayor.
Contacted Monday about her brother's maneuverings, the normally gregarious Moseley Braun was taken aback.


"You just threw me for a loop. I'm surprised at that information. . . . I did not ask him to do anything in that regard," she said.
