10. Duckworth got release papers yesterday. Will announce Sunday ..
on This Week.

"While starting from scratch a little more than three months before the March 21 primary, Duckworth is expected to get plenty of help from Chicago Congressman Rahm Emanuel. He’s the chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee who recruited Duckworth into the race and has assembled a top-flight team of Democratic operatives to jump-start her campaign. (Can that be done in a primary race?)

Duckworth’s decision to run leaves fellow Democrat Christine Cegelis, a Rolling Meadows technology consultant, in a tough position. If Cegelis wins, she’s angered Emanuel, who controls the money spigot for Democrats nationally that Cegelis would need to take on the well-funded Roskam. An under-funded Cegelis got 44 percent against Hyde last year.

Duckworth, who lives just outside the 6th District but is eligible to run, also is scheduled to appear Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” program, whose host, George Stephanopoulos, worked with Emanuel in the Clinton White House."
