Burris Gets His Way
Roland Burris is going to be the next Senator from the state of Illinois. The Democrats will be grudgingly seat him in the United States senate. Many republicans love this because in 2010 they will be in good standing to get the seat for the republicans. Roland Burris will be sworn in later this week. Rod Blagojevich must be laughing his butt off right now. He selected Burris on purpose just to stick it to everyone and he and Burris both got what they wanted. I have to hand it to both of these men, they played a good game. Roland Burris did not turn down the senate seat like many people had thought that he would. There is no deal with the Democrats saying that Burris will not run for re-election in 2010 this is bad news for the democrats who want to keep their majority. Do you think that the people of Illinois will give Burris a chance or will they give him the boot no matter what in 2010.
Tough to say - he’ll have to be better than mediocre though, that’s for sure.
