Capitol Fax Blog is reporting that State Senator Michael Bond will give up on the 10th District Congressional race and run for re-election in the 31st Senate District. We always suspected that Bond was hedging his bets a bit. Wonder if Laura Tomsky will drop out.
Since Bond ran away from the prospect of facing Suzi Schmidt in the first place, I think his days in office may well be numbered.
UPDATED: Schmidt Responds to Bond's Decision:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Michael Bond is a corrupt thug who will be retired by Suzi Schmidt. He knows he is a loser for Congress or State Senate.
Michael Bond may be a corrupt thug but he is also clever. Getting out of the 10th secures him the endorsement and assistance of Garrett and Hamos - quite a duo.
Good thing Suzi's seat is safe at the County...hate to see her lack of talent in the Senate...
Tomsky is out and I am sure Briet will follow. Suzi's county seat will most likely shift in 2010.
Schmidt's seat isn't up in 2010, so it can't "shift". She gets a free chance to run for the 31st District senate seat.
The theme for Lake County Board elections in 2010:
"After seeing Democrats run State govenment and Cook County government the last few years, why would you want them in control of Lake County governmnent. Vote Republican"
She gets a free chance to run is it!!
