The Rise of Jesse Jackson Jr.

Jesse Jackson Jr. has not lacked for  political troublels.  His political obituary was penned by some when his ambitions for higher office brought him onto Patrick Fitzgerald’s wiretaps. But this evening’s news, broken by Dan Mihalopoulos, that Sandi Jackson is leaning towards a Lt. Governor run, combined with Jackson ally Dr. David Miller’s impending run for Comptroller, sets out the possibility of  pro-Peotone JJJ allies holding multiple statewide offices. Having bagged his Senate dreams, is Junior giving up on higher office for himself, while looking to advance his agenda through others?

(Mick Dumke is up with his thoughts on Sandi’s move.)
