Didn't want you to miss this thread.
Having read the entire thread, I'm hoping Ole' Mike is just putting the Central Committee in their place and will come back at a later time to announce.
Quite frankly, it doesn't matter how loose his cannon is,, we need the Pubbie in that seat in the Senate. Even one term is better than nothing!
I suspect the residents of Illinois are accustomed to Mike's outbursts and will not be taken back by his bad boy behavior with the press & the Central Committee.
