HERE'S WHAT IT'S REALLY ALL ABOUT
(If given the job) - the Repubs think Burris will run again in 2010, in the next election. He'll lose (he's lost 5 straight primaries) as the state is close and he's a bumbling buffoon of a candidate, let's be honest.
The Dems want someone marginally competent in the job, without a big shitstain on his reputation. Imagine the ads that WILL be running in one year, if Burress is approved . "Burress was appointed by a scandaled man, and his own party didn't want him".
A Buress 2010 Senate run is a wet dream for repubs. THIS is why Rush is so critical of Dems for bouncing this joker. Of COURSE you'd want your rival party filling a seat for 1 year with a stained clod who can't win an election.
