Roland Burris looks like he will be the next Senator from the State of Illinois. The Democratic Party's firm NO to any appointment from the Governor has shown too many cracks, from the first day the appointment was made. However now that the Senate confirmation is close, the Dems are already looking at 2010. Rumors have it that Burris should only be a place holder for a better Dem. It seems the Dems are afraid of Republican Congressman Mark Kirk being the candidate to beat in 2010. That may have been one of the reasons the Democratically controlled State Legislature failed to set a date for a special election.
Mark Kirk could be a good person to be at the top of ILL. GOP ticket for 2010. The Republicans now need to get other good candidates for the right type of change this state needs.
