| Description | DuPage County State's Attorney Joe Birkett is poised to make a third attempt for statewide office in two years.
Birkett, who ran unsuccessfully for attorney general and lieutenant governor, told the Daily Herald he is exploring a possible run in 2010 for attorney general or governor.
The 53-year-old Wheaton man may be one of Illinois' best-known Republicans and widely respected, but the political climate could be his biggest challenge.
"It's going to be tough for any Republican in 2010, especially if there is a President Obama in the White House," said Paul Green, director of Roosevelt University's School of Policy Studies. "So, I would think the best thing he can do is get out there early, pick his spots and start raising money like mad." |
