U.S. Rep. Danny Davis is forming an exploratory committee to consider running for Cook County Board president, said his spokeswoman Tumia Romero.I wonder what's the point of meeting with a potention opponent to discuss a particular race. Either way 2010 is going to be interesting as far as Cook County Politics. Things could change but I percieve Stroger as a weak incumbent.
Davis commissioned a poll which showed “very favorable” numbers for his run, Romero said, including placing him 7 points ahead of County Commissioner Forrest Claypool, the presumptive front-runner who pulled out of the race last week.
Davis is meeting withCounty Board President Todd Stroger to discuss the race. Davis was the runnerup three years ago when Democratic committeemen chose a successor to Stroger’s father, John, who suffered a stroke before winning the Democratic primary.
