With the new revelation that Sen. Ronald Burris attempted to raise money for Rod Blagojevich, the AP is already starting to float "resignation" as a possibility. If Burris is forced to step down, it will be the latest embarrassment to Democrats over this Senate seat. But I'm sure some Republicans are hoping Burris sticks around a bit longer-- at least until the next election.

burris is not going anywhere; there's nothing there to cause him to make the decision to step down. the elite media is just playing / posing like they're " troubled " by chicago style politics...

AP is just nervous that Burris won't hold his seat for the Dems. AP wants Burris out of there so the new governor can appoint a stronger candidate.
