Politics: Callahan has politics in her blood

colleen-28.jpgThe Daily Journal from Kankakee has an excellent profile of Colleen Callahan, who’s put in the ring for the Democratic nomination to run against Aaron Schock for 18th District representative. Turns out her family has a long history of high-level, albeit behind-the-scenes involvement in Democratic Party politics. It turns out that Judge Richard Grawey — who also was considering being considered — has again dropped out, the DJ reports. It’s just as well, because everything indicated to me that Grawey really didn’t want the job. Meanwhile, Callahan’s homespun family story will be an appealing narrative. And it’s a narrative that will be told by proven communicator. It’s going to be a fun race to watch.

    “She said she’s not aware of anyone else interested in the nomination.”

    Not so. CCB is using the media effectively to make this seem like a virtual coronation (and pull a “Schocker”), but there are other Democrats who are potential candidates.
