Jesse Jackson,Jr should be glad that he was not the chosen one.. Bosabitch and Burris have totally tainted Baracks senate seat.

1. You can say that again. Burris was too eager to get in that seat
and I had a strong feeling he would be a disaster!

2. So did I...
Didn't know much about him but he was way to eager. I can still see him standing at the press conference with Bosabitch, and we cannot forget the scene with his people standing in the rain in DC playing the victim. He really needs to go we have enough to worry about with the Fucking GOP.

7. Very sad that a person is that desperate for a position...
He really wanted to ride off of Barack sucess even if he had to lie to get there. I place him in the same gutter with Bosabitch.

8. I was cheering for Jesse, Jr .....
He's young enough to hold the seat for a while if he can keep his dad in check. I'm afraid he may have lost this opportunity because of the shit that Bosabitch tried to pull.

18. (shrug) And there were the oh-so-concerned that Palin would be our undoing...
and the oh-so-concerned that anybody but Clinton would get pwned by McLoser.

As always: concern noted.

10. No freaking way. That seat will continue to be "Obama's" Senate seat
The people of Illinois will do everything they can to make sure that it stays in the hands of a Democrat.

The GOP doesn't have much power in Illinois. Even the state senate is 37 Dem, 22 Rep (63%), like the state registration percentages.

13. Well that's a relief
wonder when burris is forced to step down. Lord knows he isn't going to do it on his own.

extra crap because of this mess.

14. They were both asked about this shady contribution thing at the press conference....
.... when Blago announced Burris as his pick. I'm surprised it's taken this long to come back up.

19. It seems that it's not the contribution but Burris's testimony on it that is the issue n/t
