(Via Hot Air Headlines) It’s a lovely thought, but it won’t happen. If either state or Senate Democrats cared enough about the humiliation that they were putting the people of Illinois through with this sorry mess, they would have changed the law to permit a special election in the first place. But that wasn’t important. Keeping the seat in the hands of one political party? That was important.
Heck of a thing when the most laudable motivation energizing any Democratic Party player in this affair is coming from the impeached former Governor of Illinois; even worse, the motivation is “stark, bloody-minded revenge.” Oh, Rod Blagojevich: why could you not have chosen to use your powers for good?

One vote. One stinkin’ vote. Was that too much to ask? I can’t WAIT until all the Obama Republics (as Mark Levin calls them) wake up and the Kool Aid wears off. I can’t even enjoy saying I told you so I’m so disgusted!
No!!!11!1!!1!1! The Bilderbergers are coming
If not Burris, another Democrat would have been there
civil truth (Diary) Tuesday, February 17th at 11:26PM EST (link)Quinn would have picked another Democratic well in time for the votes.
The greatest evil…is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed, and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voice. Hence, naturally enough, my symbol for Hell is something like the bureaucracy of a police state or the offices of a thoroughly nasty business concern. -C.S. Lewis
