Rep. Sander Levin, D-Mich., ranking Democrat on the House Ways and Means Committee listens on Capitol Hill in Washington, Friday, May 17, 2013. Political scandals have strange ways of causing collateral damage, and Republicans are hoping the furor over federal tax enforcers singling out conservative groups will ensnare their biggest target: President Barack Obama’s health care law. But no one appears to have connected the factual dots yet, and it’s unclear whether they will. Levin, the ranking Democrat on the Ways and Means Committee, which oversees the IRS says “There really isn’t a tie,This is another effort by the Republicans to essentially try to score political points.” (AP Photo/Charles Dharapak)

Daley, a Chicago Democrat, is considering a run for Illinois governor in 2014. Another Democrat considering a run is Attorney General Lisa Madigan.
