- Yes and no. I actually feel bad for Burris. He's had a very clean record. I think he's sort of a lightweight, but is tainted for something he had - pmb Jan 6, 08:41 3
  - He doesn't have to take the appointment. - Will Hunting Jan 6, 08:43 1
    - In some ways I agree. There is an element of blind ambition here from Burris. He has tried for higher office several times and lost. He has mostly - pmb Jan 6, 09:00
  - ah, thanks. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 08:43
- I'm never really a fan of guilt by association. I also haven't been following this, so I have no idea if there's any problem with the actual man. -- nm - mafic Jan 6, 08:39 4
  - theoretically he paid for the seat. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 08:40 3
    - I'm fairly certain he didn't. He's been scandal free and from a strategic point of view for Blago it makes most sense for him to appoint someone - pmb Jan 6, 08:43 1
      - gotcha. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 08:44
    - There's zero proof he's done anything wrong or even any real conjecture. Just Reid et al dont' want Blago to make the decision now - Will Hunting Jan 6, 08:41
