The Dems have all Illinois patronage jobs now. Machine Dems will control the primaries in 2004 and 2006. Unless the Dem EGOS can't live with each other, Carol Mosely-Braun doesn't have a chance in the primary. The machine could find a candidate who could even beat her in the Black wards. She has no money, no machine.

Hm, some juicy news coming out today.

link
"It looks as though U.S. Rep. Jennifer Dunn, R-Wash., is at the top of the short list to head the Air Transport Association, a $700,000-per-year job representing airline interests in Washington. Republicans are confident they would retain control of her House seat in the suburbs around Seattle -- while clearing the decks for the 2004 race for U.S. Senate.

Dunn is frequently mentioned as a potential GOP challenger to two-term incumbent Democrat Patty Murray, who is fresh off a stint as head of the party's campaign committee. With her out of the race, the party is free to focus on the as-of-yet unannounced candidacy of U.S. Rep. George Nethercutt of Spokane.

Nethercutt has a reputation as a giant-killer, having beaten Democratic House Speaker Tom Foley in 1994 and survived an onslaught from well-funded term-limit activists when he opted to run for re-election in 2002 rather than quit as he had initially promised."

--UPI's Capital Comment

It also has speculation on the Indiana governor's race.
