CHICAGO – A defiant Gov. Rod Blagojevich on Tuesday named a black political trailblazer to Barack Obama's Senate seat, a surprise move that put the governor's opponents in the uncomfortable position of trying to block his choice from becoming the Senate's only black member. Blagojevich's appointment of former state Attorney General Roland Burris injected race into the drama surrounding the embattled governor, who repeatedly sought to distance his selection from charges that he tried to sell the seat to the highest bidder.

Already there is fear coming from Dems over possible fallout from not accepting Blagojevich's black appointee. If it were not so tragic, it would be funny. We still have a long way to go in the race race...

Well, Burris doesn't seem like a bad guy but h's lost his last three attempts to win the Gov seat. One of those was defeated by Gov B. Yep, he's qualified and certainly one with the demonstrated support of the people from Illinoislaugh
