The repubs. were giddy when this first came out and they were yelling about pay for play. If the dems. just allowed a govern. who is being investigated for trying to sell a senate seat to appoint a senator, wouldn't the assumption be that they were somehow ignoring the allegations? If Burris' is seated or not, the next senator to hold Obama's seat will be and A. Amer.
Not to highjack this but did I read that Bloggo's in laws have lots of money? If not, I would suppose he's trying to hang on b/c he's atleast getting paid (sort of like Roland did a few years back in Ct). The other thing, if the resigns, wouldn't it make him seem more guilty in the eyes of most people??
