State Senator Matt Murphy, a Republican from Palatine, has officially entered what is going to be a wild 2010 governor's race. Talking to the Tribune, Murphy said, "I'm very serious. I look at it as I really feel that among those in this, I give it the best chance for us to win. It felt like everything kind of came together right in a strange sort of way. The feedback has been good enough. I'm ready to go forward. I'm in." Fellow GOP Sen. Bill Brady (Bloomington) has announced his intention to run already and Sen. Kirk Dillard (Hinsdale) is also considering a run. [Tribune]
