Wheatland Township Democrats News and Announcements
 

- Krugman: The Stimulus Trap -

7/10/2009 By Democratic Party of Wheatland Township

As soon as the Obama administration-in-waiting announced its stimulus plan — this was before Inauguration Day — some of us worried that the plan would prove inadequate. And we also worried that it might be hard, as a political matter, to come back for another round.

 

- Sen. Burris won't seek full Senate term --

7/9/2009 By Democratic Party of Wheatland Township

WASHINGTON — A Democratic official says Sen. Roland Burris will not run for a full Senate term in 2010. The source says Burris has begun informing party officials about his decision. The official spoke anonymously because Burris had yet to announce his decision publicly.   U.S. Sen. Roland Burris reportedly will announce Friday that he does not plan to run for a full Senate term in 2010.   Burris was appointed by disgraced Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich to fill the Senate seat vacated by President Obama. His appointment was criticized from the moment it was announced and prompted calls for Burris to resign.

 

- Senator Burris To Retire --

7/9/2009 By Democratic Party of Wheatland Township

Illinois Sen. Roland Burris (D) will not seek a full term in 2010, according to an informed Democratic strategist, a decision that was all-but-certain given the appointed senator's ties to former governor Rod Blagojevich. Burris had refused to make any commitment about his future plans until today although his ever-changing story regarding his relationship with the disgraced former governor and his non-existent fundraising during the first three months of the year led savvy strategists to conclude he would not (or could not) run. The race had passed Burris by with speculation centering on whether or not Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan (D) would run. (She decided against doing so earlier this week.)

 

- IL-Sen/IL-Gov: Madigan, Courted For Both Races, Chooses...Neither -

7/8/2009 By Democratic Party of Wheatland Township

Hmm...chalk this up as another unexpected development in the 2010 Election cycle: Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan (D) will run for re-election to her current post in 2010, according to a Democratic source aware of the decision, ending months of speculation about whether she might make the leap to a Senate or gubernatorial bid. Madigan is expected to make her decision public later today.

 

- Dillard to run for governor --

7/8/2009 By Democratic Party of Wheatland Township

State Sen. Kirk Dillard announced his candidacy Wednesday for governor as a top Democratic contender bowed out -- a move which he believes clears the path for a Republican like him to win the post. Dillard, 54, of Hinsdale, contended he is the best choice for the state's top post, but acknowledged that Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan's decision not to run will make it easier for any Republican to win.

 

- In Reversal, Senate Dem Leadership Pushes For Unity Against Filibuster -

7/8/2009 By Democratic Party of Wheatland Township

As we've been reporting , Sen. Majority Leader Harry Reid is demanding an end to efforts to woo fence-sitting Republicans in to supporting a watered-down health care reform legislation. But that will likely alienate just about the entire GOP, and require Democrats to stand united against a filibuster if a bill is to pass through regular order.

 

- A Starter, Not a Finisher -

7/7/2009 By Democratic Party of Wheatland Township

What can you say about a public official who ridicules those who would take the "quitter's way out" -- as she faces reporters to announce that she's quitting ? A governor who claims that "the worthless, easy path" would be to serve out the remaining 18 months of her term? An ambitious politician who says that "life is too short" to worry about, you know, boring things such as responsibility or duty?

 

- Centrists threaten Obama's agenda -

7/7/2009 By Democratic Party of Wheatland Township

Half a dozen members of the Senate Democratic Conference pose the biggest threat to President Obama’s agenda, giving Senate Republicans a fighting chance to block the administration’s major expansions of government.

 

- Senator Al -

7/7/2009 By Democratic Party of Wheatland Township

 Franken will be sworn in as the second senator from Minnesota and the 60th senator to caucus with Democrats this afternoon -- an arrival long in the making and heavy with expectation (both good and bad).

 

- Congressman Kirk takes heat from GOP for backing climate bill --

7/4/2009 By Democratic Party of Wheatland Township

As one of the eight Republicans who helped a controversial energy and climate-change bill narrowly clear the U.S. House last week, Mark Kirk continues to take heat from members of his own party for the vote. Much of the backlash has been anonymous, coming from critics who habituate dailyherald.com, local political message boards and other Web sites. Using screen names like "Right," "Fedup57" and "Reaganlives," they've called the Highland Park lawmaker a traitor to the GOP and the nation.
