    I'm not sure what to think of Roland Burris. His name will probably be coming up a lot again since the Blagojevich hearings should be coming up soon. Blagojevich hasn't been found guilty yet, but if he were, wouldn't that mean Burris would have to step down? We'll see... it should be interesting. Nice work!
