Roland Burris has a mixed record on election in the state of Illinois. As of today, some want him to commit not to run for the open Senate Seat in 2010, while others think he has a chance since has been elected statewide in the past. I think he has no chance of winning a Democratic Primary due to lack of money, and being considered old news (he hasn't won an election since 1990). He would as any democrat will, win a general election, but he won't get the chance. Nor should he.
