Color Me Gobsmacked: Roland Burris Not Running for Reelection

I can admit when I'm wrong. Sometimes.

I was absolutely certain that Roland Burris would never let go of his senate seat without a contentious primary. I was also pretty sure that Lisa Madigan would challenge him in a primary.

Looks like the Illinois Democratic party might have something up its sleeve. I can't wait to see who the final candidate will be

Personally, I am hoping for Jan Schakowsky. Sure, her husband did some jail time for check kiting. But she is a fierce advocate for her constituents and an unapologetic liberal.

Any predictions?
