Mark Kirk who embellished his military service record stated clearly that he was the only member of Congress to serve in Iraqi freedom, which he clearly wasnt at the time. Ginnoulius who had a banking Scandle and no military service couldn't exploit that. Tammy Duckworth, who all but said, she's running, a Max Cleland female, who lost limbs in that same conflict will be able to exploit that. And get more female votes.

I think the military service record speaks for itself on who we are gonna nominate, Madigan will forgo the senate seat and run for gov. Serving in Iraqi freedom like Duckworth did, or during, stateside, like Kirk did, speaks for itself. This seat will be easy pickings with a Hilary run.

But, if Simon doesn't win the comptroller's seat, she would be viable as well, fom being from Carbondale.

If she gets the word from Hilary she would run, but if she doesn't we have two other females who make it competetive.

However, moderate male GOP have been a dying breed lately. SMC and Collins who are female moderates, are clear locks for their respective races. But, Scott Brown, Lincoln Chafee and Arlen Specter and Gordon Smith, they have been def one after the other.

Again, he embellished his service record stating he was the only member of Congress to serve in Iraqi freedom. But, he served stateside during, not in the war. Where, Duckworth, clearly did and lost her limbs.

This article has an interesting take on 2016 IL senate race http://atr.rollcall.com/kirk-vs-duckworth-for-senate-in-2016/

She will vie for reelection in 2014 of course. But, despite the fact she won in 2012, her district votes GOP, especially in  prez yrs and she may want our in 2016. She won over a teabagger, Walsh.

Unlike Quinn, the Dems will have a top recruit in 2016, to challenge Kirk, and Duck worth or Madigan shall win.They may tie him to the GOP in the state legislature who have lower approvals than Quinn, who might slip by and also the one who challenges Kirk.

She might as well run for Senate anyways. It will be a promotion and it will be much better than a House seat. But , that was the only article that I could find as the only one interested as of yet.

Should Simon, not Duck worth run for this seat, which is still possible since she trails in polls to Topinka, she can very well blunt Kirk's advantage in Suburbs, by appealing to Urban and Carbodale and Young voters. Like father, like daughter, she can run up score in the same down state areas.
