Kennedy for Senate? (Illinois this time)
by Mark Silva
Could there be another Kennedy in the Senate?
A spokeswoman for Chris Kennedy, president of the Merchandise Mart in Chicago, says the son of the late Sen. Robert F. Kennedy is seriously considering a campaign for the Senate seat once held by President Barack Obama -- now held by Sen. Roland Burris.
The Associated Press quotes Kennedy spokeswoman Kasey Madden today as saying it's uncertain when Kennedy would make an announcement.
The seat is held by Burris, a Democrat and appointee of ousted Gov. Rod Blagojevich. It's up for election in 2010.
Chris Kennedy's father was a senator when assassinated in 1968, during his campaign for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination. He is a nephew of the late President John F. Kennedy and the ailing Sen. Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts. His cousin, Caroline Kennedy, sought an appointment to New York's then-open Senate seat, only to withdraw her candidacy, earlier this year.
Christopher George Kennedy, a native of Boston, is president of Merchandise Mart Properties. His grandfather, Joseph Kennedy, purchased the Mart in 1945.
