Rep. Bill Foster, of Naperville, announced Friday that he will not challenge Republican Sen. Mark Kirk in 2016 and instead is backing another Democrat, Rep. Tammy Duckworth.

When I caught up with Tim Ryan, the recovering heroin addict was, as always, going a mile a minute.

Senger’s folks work from rooms with a pleasant view of the DuPage River in a building facing a wrecking ball in a few months.
Foster’s staff sits, for now, in a tiny, stuffy cell hidden behind a barber shop.
As the Senger and Foster teams crank up for the November election from their outposts, Foster starts with a commanding lead in the money race while Senger has almost nothing in her war chest.
