Democratic Sen. Roland Burris is not running in 2010, which is actually pretty good news for his fellow Democrats, as explaining how his only qualification for the office was "I was appointed by Rod Blagojevich" and that was basically going to hand over Barack Obama's old seat in Illinois to the Republicans.
The problem is replacing Burris. Illinois AG Lisa Madigan was favored, but she has flatly denied the seat and is running for AG again. Without Madigan, the seat is suddenly a lot more vlnerable than it was say, last week.
We'll see.
