5. Not Really...He Is Literally A Dead Man Walking

and has the mausleum to prove it.

Not sure why he waited to see what Lisa Madigan decided, but at least this puts to rest the tainted career of Roland Burris.

4. geee...ya' think?

it would have been ludicrous for him to run.

he was given the seat as gracious way to say goodbye after a long term of public service, and he was just a placeholder- he was never meant to seek re-election.

Yep...I'm devestated I tell ya...lordy, lordy what am I gonna do? :rofl:

I did get a campaign solicitation letter for him earlier this year...returned it with $100 in monopoly money.

Sounds like Giannoulis has the inside track. Too bad. Jan would make an awesome Senator.

and now he can save by not having to add another granite tablet to his memorial site.
