Lisa Madigan won't run for Senate, Ill. guv

Here's a surprise...Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan, who is the daughter of state house speaker Michael Madigan, won't be running for governor or the US Senate.

She had been courted by the White House to challenge the embarrassing Roland Burris in next year's Democratic Party while she was considering a run for governor.

But she won't be doing either, she's going to run for a third term as AG.

But the Madigan camp has one thing going for her--they must read Marathon Pundit. Instead of using a government-paid spokesperson to announce this political decision, Madigan used a political one.
