On on...I'm so confused by the whole Burris scandal. On one hand the Senate has no reason not to seat Burris, the fact that the person who appointed him is in scandal does not disqualify him--he would be a great appointment Senator in any case. <BR/><BR/>At the same time, I don't get why Burris is fighting this so much. At one point I heard the possibility that Burris might be appointed that the new Governor once Blago leaves; however, his hissy fit all but threw out that possibility. <BR/><BR/>Exactly how was he expecting to be of use in the Senate anyway, if he knew that Reid would make his two years there miserable. At either end this is a political mess. <BR/><BR/>Great blog by the way!J.

Burris is a seasoned politico and a consensus builder.<BR/><BR/>A crook just appointed him and he will SOON wipe off that taint. He has a reputation that stands solidly on his own.<BR/><BR/>He's 71 years old and this is his last run in the end zone! I know he will be unforgettable!<BR/><BR/>(I worked on his mayoral campaign when he ran against Daley so I suppose I am a bit biased.)<BR/><BR/>Peace, blessings and DUNAMIS!<BR/>Lisa<BR/><BR/>P.S. <B>Just a teeny reminder...ummm..and shameless plug!</B><BR/>I hope you'll want to vote for my blog in the <A HREF="http://2008.weblogawards.org/polls/best-small-blog/" REL="nofollow">The Weblog Awards</A> this week!LISA VAZQUEZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13583559303233985031noreply@blogger.com
