How Does Quinn Feel About The Hynes Idea? (UPDATED)

This morning, in the wake of Scott Lee Cohen's departure from the race, news outlets across the state are floating the names of possible Democratic lieutenant nominees.  The most dramatic possibility is a Dan Hynes appointment.  But how would Gov. Pat Quinn -- who was pummeled by Hynes during the gubernatorial primary -- feel about that?  We'll find out in about a half-hour when Quinn talks to reporters at Chicago's Allegro Hotel.  Check back for more details later this morning. (UPDATE 11:15 a.m.: Nevermind.  Capitol Fax has learned that Hynes is "not interested" in the position.)
