 Mark Kirk's seat is as good as gone. It'll be interesting to see if its Lisa Madigan or Tammy Duckworth that gets the D nomination.

Funny seeing him namedrop Michelle Obama as a potential candidate for fundraising purposes, though.

 Tammy Duckworth (and her people) are starting to feel out a run against Mark Kirk in 2016. Also a nice little mention of Durbin's future at the end.

quote:

Rep. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., is interested in a 2016 Senate run against Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., but for now is focused on the impending birth of her daughter, who is due any day.

A member of Duckworth’s team — who is familiar with how Duckworth is approaching the possibility of a 2016 run — confirmed that Duckworth is “interested, open and curious” about a Senate bid and is receptive to having conversations about the race.

...

Duckworth is putting off looking at the race more seriously until she has her baby and knows everyone is healthy. Duckworth announced she was pregnant on Labor Day.

...

Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., who turns 70 on Nov. 21, is Duckworth’s political godfather. I figure this may be his last term. If Duckworth takes a 2016 pass, in six years she is Durbin’s heir apparent.

 Tammy Duckworth says she is a few weeks away from making a decision to challenge Mark Kirk and I would be shocked if she decides not to.
