Or maybe she won't run
From CBS 2 Chicago:
Topinka Says Gubernatorial Bid Not Official
(Chicago, IL) -- Judy Baar Topinka is mulling over the possibility of running for governor in 2006, but says she is not ready to confirm anything yet. The Illinois state treasurer told reporters on Monday she is getting her petitions and campaign war chest together, and is ready for a brutal race, but she stopped short of confirming her candidacy. Topinka is considered the favorite in a crowded Republican field. One poll has Topinka getting 31-percent of the primary vote, more than twice that of runner-up Jim Oberweis, and some polls have her running close to incumbent Governor Rod Blagojevich.
