Burris isn't very legal most likely; just politically smart for them and stupid for him. Franken's simple.

Posted by Will Hunting (aka JoeMetz) Jan 6 '09, 08:29

the election hasn't been signed and attested as official yet by the SecState of Minny so the election isn't valid yet.

Responses:

CNN talking heads last night said that the Dems would let Burris take the seat if he promised not to run in 2010 for the seat. -- nm - Remlik Jan 6, 08:40 2
- Honestly, I don't see a really viable manner Burris wins in 2010 if he runs anyhow. - Will Hunting Jan 6, 08:42 1

- If I am up to speed (questiony)...the Canvassing Board determined Franken the winner, but the SecState hasn't signed off on the formal docs pending - Will Hunting Jan 6, 08:39 1

  - sfen, the gov has to sign it, which may be next week, unless it is held due to legal challenges. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 6, 08:38
how is Burris's appointment not legal? The Gov. of Illinois does have he legal right to appoint someone. No matter how big a tool he is (gov.). -- nm - Remlik Jan 6, 08:32 2
- I mean, their denial of his seat probably isn't legal. - Will Hunting Jan 6, 08:33 1
  - oh...I gotcha. -- nm - Remlik Jan 6, 08:37
