| Description | Broadcaster Orion Samuelson flirted with the possibility Friday of entering the U.S. Senate race against Democrat Barack Obama, but the decision will hinge on getting the GOP to pay for the effort.
Desperate for a credible candidate to replace Jack Ryan, some senior Republicans favor Samuelson, 70, because of his name recognition generated through a four-decade career at WGN-AM, reporting on agribusiness to a statewide audience.
While enamored of the thought of entering the political arena, the long-time Republican said he has no personal fortune to invest in a Senate race, meaning the party will have to pony up dollars or the question is moot.
