Both a Daley and a Madigan have surfaced as possible candidates in a place where those surnames represent royal families of politics -- an Illinois version of the Kennedys or Bushes.
William Daley is the former White House chief of staff and son and brother of all-powerful former Chicago mayors.
Lisa Madigan is attorney general and daughter of the longtime House Speaker -- a man said to control what happens in the statehouse.
Neither has formally announced. But the possible challenge to the sitting Democratic governor is raising questions and creating a buzz in the Legislature's final weeks.
