Hot off my Twitter feed, from Chicago News Bench.

CNB’s next tweet reads, “Hot Tip: Insiders are telling me that Giannoulias is considering pulling out of the race against Mark Kirk.”

If the story pans out, then the Democrats are losing competitive candidates in Illinois — before the election season even begins, with their home state favorite son sitting in the Oval Office.

Unprecedented. Uneffingprecedented.

UPDATE: Some days I’m slower than others. It only just now clicked that the Senate seat in question once belonged to one… Barack Obama.

    Totally unfair, Ed. Obama never occupied that seat long enough to keep it warm.

    There have been rumors that Rahm might run for that spot by some twist of fate. Maybe this is the opening.

    Ed, it’s the people’s seat.

    Jaymaster, don’t you mean twist of arms?

    Just because the Republicans have the clips of O’bama claiming it wasn’t elected to bail out failing bankers?
