One month ago, Sen. Roland Burris, D-Ill., bowed to political reality and announced that he would not run for a full term in 2010. Now, he’s reconsidering.
“You never say never,” Burris told ABC News. “What I’m still hearing … people from all over the country and they are saying, ‘Don’t give up that seat.'”
That could be true, of course — but he’s not exactly hearing that from voters in Illinois. Nor is he hearing it from people with money to donate to his campaign; one of the reasons for his decision last month was a failure to raise enough to mount a run.
