Read today that the venerable Alan Keyes might run for Illinois Governor. What a fool. I thought we were rid of him after he lost. He must be holed up in his roach-infested Cal City apartment, just dreaming of his Maryland home. I think he needs to wake up and stop politicking already. He's just a joke.
Also on the Governor front, it seems that Rod is burning bridges. While I'm still skeptical about that public in-law fued, I guess its true that Blago and Mayor Daley don't speak. Which can't really be good for any of us in this state and city, now can it? Turns out they were both in LA this week -- it was a total surprise to each -- and they ran into each other in their hotel hallway. Daley was there to study the LAPD for improvements for the CPD... and Rod was there to raise money for his campaign. They nodded/said hello and that's all. Strange.
So who is on good terms with Rod? He doesn't speak with his father-in-law, the deluded Ald. Mell -- he thinks he actually has power... he's an ALDERMAN! -- or apparently Mayor Daley either. Lisa Madigan will probably run against him in the primary, her dad, Speaker Madigan and Rod are bitter enemies, the Jacksons aren't warm with the Gov. and Judy Baar Topinka is a Republican, so who in power is on Rod's side? Doesn't look good for him, now does it?
The Governor race is gonna be electric.
