| Description | The Democratic primary for Cook County board president once looked to be a crowded affair, but Ald. Toni Preckwinkle may be the last candidate standing long before the race even arrives.
The latest developments: Cook County Commissoner Larry Suffredin is out, U.S. Rep. Danny Davis is wavering, and incumbent Todd Stroger's resolve to run again is reportedly weakening.
Forrest Claypool, the expected Stroger opponent, is long gone.
Besides Preckwinkle, that leaves Cook County Circuit Court Clerk Dorothy Brown and Metropolitan Water Reclamation District President Terrence O'Brien.
In other words, that leaves Preckwinkle.
Of course, the central figure in all of this is Mayor Daley.
Daley already has pulled his support from Stroger, if Michael Sneed is to be believed, an iffy proposition, sure, but it does appear that Preckwinkle has at least the mayor's tacit approval. |
