Bill Daley sizing up run for governor
June 5, 2005
Sources close to former Secretary of Commerce William Daley report that there is an outside chance that he still could challenge politically declining Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich in next year's Democratic primary.
Daley, the brother of Mayor Daley, could have had the governor's nomination for the asking in 2002 but instead took a corporate position in San Antonio. Now back in Chicago, he is looking seriously at the governor's office, but is more likely to try in 2010 than in 2006.
A footnote: Friends of Jim Edgar say the two-term Republican governor is seriously considering a comeback against Blagojevich in 2006. But most Republican politicians doubt that Edgar is serious about running.

I'm not sure how downstaters would react to the Daley name. Also, I think people would be weary of giving more political power to the Daleys. We don't need the whole state turning into a Daley empire...
As a down stater I would welcome his run against the hair brush
