DescriptionAn Illinois state senator says he plans to decide later this week whether he'll seek the Republican nomination in the race for U.S. Senate, while a wealthy dairy farmer who lost in the primary is considering taking another shot at the vacancy.

For more than three weeks, Republicans have been trying to find a replacement for millionaire Jack Ryan who dropped out of the race after the release of embarrassing sex club allegations.

State Sen. Kirk Dillard, R-Hinsdale, said he's discussed the possibility of replacing Ryan with several GOP officials.

"I don't want to get anyone's hopes up," Dillard said on the WBBM-AM program "At Issue" that aired Sunday. He said he plans to decide later this week after talking more with his colleagues and his family.
