Doesn’t matter if I had: it’s worth repeating. Via @MelissaTweets comes the wonderful news that Roland Burris is giving this ‘run for election’ thing serious consideration. Yes, I know that the conventional wisdom is that he won’t, but Roland Burris is neither conventional, nor particularly wise - and he’s not actually ruling out a run. Admittedly, right now his major problem is that he’d need to find some surefire and very public way to appeal to the liberal faction of the Democratic party. But how to do that?
…Sen. Roland Burris just put out a statement saying he won’t vote for a bill that doesn’t include a public option, which is not supported by many of his moderate Democratic Senate colleagues.
Yeah. Yeah, that’ll do it.

PS: Just remember: if he does run, and you’re a Democrat who votes against him in the primary, it’s because you’re a racist. Just ask Jimmy Carter.

The Burris pick was done in part, it seems, to shiv multiple enemies, and indeed, it’s the gift that keeps on giving.

Ha! Go ahead, make my day!

We’ve been called racists enough now that it shouldn’t bother us any more.

If NY23 was a beat down for Conservatives, what do you call what happened to Progressives in NJ and VA?

Patrick Hughes
Eric Wallace
Thank you...
merryj1 Monday, October 26th at 4:11AM EDT (link)I got Wallace’s name earlier, I’ll check Hughes too. I can’t vote for Kirk, good to have an option other than writing in some dumb thing like “Alexander the Pretty Good” (from an old cartoon — Alex the PG isn’t really running).
No problem.........
DavidS1787 Monday, October 26th at 5:59PM EDT (link)I can’t vote for Kirk either………..
I wish someone from Redstate would do an interview on these two men(Patrick Hughs and ErickWallace).
