Now I'm not so sure. Schakowsky hasn't moderated, it's just that Obama is more extreme than I imagined.
That being said, she's pretty far out there.
Which would have made a US Senate run difficult. But that won't be happening, Schakowsky told CBS 2 Chicago this morning that she plains to remain in the House.
In addition to her far-left views, such as favoring a return of the so-called "fairness doctrine," Sckakowsky's ex-con husband, Robert Creamer, was a campaign advisor to Rod Blagojevich. This would have made great grist for campaign ads by a Schakowsky opponent.
Today's development is bad news for the current occupant of that Senate seat, Roland Burris (D-Blagojevich). His only hope of emerging from next year's Democratic Primary--if he runs--is to ride the African American vote to victory in a crowded field of candidates.
