Bobby Rush on his way out of Congress?

Rich Miller on the Capitol Fax discusses the possible future of Congressman Bobby Rush of the 1st Congressional District. He's battling cancer currently and it is reported apparently that he is urged to give up his seat in Congress. Ald. Sandi Jackson is said to be on the short list to succeed him although her husband already is sitting in Congress. Not only that it is said that our Alderman has an interest in that congressional seat. So far though it's reported also that Rush denies that he's either being pressured or that's he's going to resign his seat. Rush is currently up for re-election in November. Miller cites on the rumors about Alds Jackson and Lyle a column by the Sun-Times' gossiper Michael Sneed.

  1. It is unfortunate that you have the disease; however, it gives you no license to tinker with the 2d Amendment. Kill the gun bill.

  2. I would support Ald.Lyle for the 2nd congressional seat if she'd only fix the pot holes on the side streets,have the drug dealers removed from our ward,enforce marshall law on 79th street,not rant against Daley then flip flop voting on suppresive traffic issues in council.
