The chairman of the Democratic Party of Illinois says he isn't wading into the primary battle for U.S. Senate. At least not yet.
Republican U.S. Senator Mark Kirk's up for re-election next year, and Democrats are trying to wrestle back his seat.
The two most prominent candidates?
Congresswoman Tammy Duckworth, of Hoffman Estates, and the head of the Chicago Urban League, Andrea Zopp.
"The Democratic Party is very fortunate that we have so many people that are interested in running for the United States senate."
The Democratic Party chairman, Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan.
"Because at times political parties have a hard time finding people to run for office. But we have several people that want to run for the U.S. Senate. Your next question would be ..."
Will you back one over the other?
To that, Madigan said no -- for now. He hinted it could happen later.
