Did anyone here actually believe Durbin and Reid wouldn’t cave in?
If you thought otherwise, you are either very young, or you have a very short attention span.

Playing the race card out was brilliant... knew then and there that the Dims would fold like cheap suits.

barring objections from Republicans.Are you kidding me? This would be a mighty strange time for the Repubs to develop a spine...

Not only those two, but Obama as well.
He didn’t want Blago appointing anyone, but the spectacle that ensued made him press Reid to fold.

Is this because the Giants were knocked out of the playoffs, or is it because of the NFL suspension?

I’m not shocked. The ‘Rats had little ground to deny Burris what he was appointed to, as Blago hasn’t been convicted of anything yet.
Republicans were sensible to mostly stay clear of this.

For a while there it looked like their strategy was to drag their feet until Blago was impeached, but I guess they just didn’t have the stones to wait till Feb. Plus, I believe IL Lieutenant Governor Pat Quinn stated he would resubmit Burris’ name when he took over anyway.

I’m sure the Harry-Dick couple is very upset over having to obey the Constitution. To make themselves feel better, I’m sure they’ll try to unofficially amend the Constitution again. BTW, when is the DC House vote bill up for a vote?

I think this is the ultimate middle finger to other Dems by Blago.

Harry Reid and Dick Durbin have CAVED. Blago wins this one. Al Franken wins this one. Trying to seat him is why they allowed this to happen.
