CHICAGO---From what I've been told--from someone close to Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan--she is not interested in replacing President-elect Barack Obama in the U.S. Senate. Gov. Rod Blagojevich is considering Madigan and others (see prior posts) to fill Obama's seat.
Lisa Madigan not interested in Obama Senate seat: source tells Sweet.
