	Ryan may support Wood's potential bid
		Corinne Wood may be the first female to rule Illinois with the support of her boss, Gov. George Ryan, who is pushing her candidacy.
		Wood said on Friday that her announcement would come in the near future and that she was heavily considering running for governor.
		When Wood ran alongside Ryan in 1998, she became the first woman to be elected lieutenant governor and the highest ranking female official to serve in Illinois.

	Ex-Lt. Gov. Wood won't run for Senate in '04 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Corinne Wood said Wednesday that she will not run for the U.S. Senate next year.
		Wood praised Borling's stance on that issue and his expertise on national security concerns but said she is undecided whether she will throw her support to him or any of the other remaining candidates.
		Still, Wood, 49, said she is concerned that most of the Republicans hoping to succeed GOP Sen. Peter Fitzgerald are working too hard to stress their conservative credentials -- a position that often works in Republican primaries but is not always successful in statewide general elections here.

	The Illinois Republican Governors race by Dave McKinney
		Corinne Wood, trailing badly in early polls on the governor’s race, might be convinced to step aside, perhaps opt for attorney general or reprise her current role.
		Wood has described herself as a “fresh face” in the Republican Party, an “outsider” and the antithesis of Springfield’s “old-boy network,” all subtle signals of how aware she is of George Ryan’s unpopularity.
		Wood intends to devote some of her future advertising budget to driving home the fact that her rivals each oppose abortions in all cases except to save the life of a woman.

	Wood hasn't bowed out of gov race yet \| Crain's Chicago Business
		Corinne Wood held a cordial—but reportedly inconclusive—meeting about whether she should make a run for the Executive Mansion and, if so, whether he'll back her.
		Wood say she is inclined to run for governor, in part because she'd face a greater challenge if she ran for one of the other offices party leaders are pushing her toward: state attorney general or U.S. senator, against Democratic incumbent Richard Durbin.
		Wood argue that the polls largely reflect the attorney general's wider name recognition as a veteran statewide office holder, rather than any strong voter attachment to him.

	Chaos in Illinois: The race for governor (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The gist of this was that Wood, because she wasn't slated by the party, sought to destroy it and Ryan (George, the corrupt current Governor and Jim - no relation- the GOP choice for November).
		Corinne Wood's entire campaign was focused on "choice." She figured since she was running against one stringently pro-life candidate (O'Malley) and one "allegedly" pro-life candidate (Jim Ryan) she was going to court the woman vote and focus on CHOICE.
		Wood's over-emphasis at being the only "pro-abortion" candidate in the Republican primaries turned out to be a major turn off, notably to Republican women in the state.

	Joel Mowbray on Jim Ryan & Illinois on National Review Online
		Although Illinois is somewhat left-of-center, and moving further to the left in recent presidential contests, it is not known as a bastion of abortion activism, least of all among GOP primary voters.
		Wood defiantly ran to the left of the Democratic gubernatorial candidates by recruiting feminist icon Gloria Steinem to campaign for her in the last week before the election.
		Given that Wood and O'Malley were diametrically opposed on the central issue for each-abortion, logic would seem to dictate that they would rule out supporting each other.

	Media & Society \| Illinois GOP Gubernatorial Candidate Releases New TV Ad Stressing Support For Abortion Rights - ...
		Corinne Wood (R) has unveiled a second television advertisement criticizing her two opponents in the Republican gubernatorial primary race because they hold "extreme" antiabortion views, NationalJournal.com reports.

		Corinne Wood, who was running for Governor at the time.
		The list really gives a broad choice: there are "Pro-Life voters for Wood" and "Pro-choice voters for Wood", so it is totally impossible to understand whether you are pro-life or pro-choice, fiscal conservative or Democrat or do not have your own position, and just trying to get votes from all sides.
		The choice of Americans of different heritage is also broad: there are "African-Americans for Wood", "Arab-Americans for Wood", "Asian-Americans for Wood", "Croatian-Americans for Wood", "Polish-Americans for Wood", but there are no "Americans for Wood", which I thought is really a big group in Illinois.
