Lisa Madigan Not Supporting Another Blagojevich Term
Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan still isn't giving away her leanings on whether she'll run for governor in 2010. But she did say she won't support the incumbent.

"I am not going to be supporting Gov. Blagojevich for a third term," she said at the Democratic National Convention in Denver . "I think we need better leadership in the state of Illinois . It's that simple."

Madigan did not endorse Blagojevich in the 2006 election, saying that legal considerations left her little choice but to stay out of it.

She also had a comment about the governor not attending the convention so far: "Yes, that is a bit strange."
