#3 That's when the governor appointed Democratic empty suit Roland Burris, an African-American, to fill the Senate seat vacated by Obama.

Here I though this was all about preserving a "black" seat, now it realize it's about preserving the empty suit seat.

Given the voting record of the fine people of Ill, it's probably best their next senator is selected not elected.

Besides Burris did grease Blogo, so all's fair in the Windy City.

#4 I don't see a winning strategy for Rod on this. How can he make this turn out well for him? Seems like he's just putting his head on the chopping block on this one. With moves like this, the political machine has no choice but to get rid of him, fast! The quickest way is a night swim in the Chicago River, but that may backfire at this point. The state legislature could get him off stage with a public impeachment and conviction. It might pass the smell test for the willing dupes in the MSM, but will Illionis voters buy it? Could spell trouble for some of Rod's cronies in 2010. Then you have the Obama problem. He's got to keep those buses coming, to throw tainted pals under and his white wash machines will be running 24/7. 2009 looks to be a troubling year for Illionis politics, but it also holds the possibility of real change and real reform. Is there a Bobby Jindal in Illionis?

#5 "Is there a Bobby Jindal in Illionis?"

If there was, Richard, he's been wearing cement overshoes for years. :-(

He's making it less-bad; if he going down, he's taking the Democrats down with him.
