WASHINGTON (AP) A Democratic official says Roland Burris will not run for a full Senate term in 2010. The source says Burris has begun informing Democratic officials about his decision. The official spoke anonymously because Burris had yet to announce his decision publicly.

Burris told them that he would be testifying and trying to keep his butt out of jail.
Does he still get paid salary for life?
Yep. Obviously it wasn’t his decision not to run since a RAT official announced it for him.
Roland Burris is too valuable an asset to lose. Contact him at link below and urge him to run in 2010:

My first thought...and, all the benefits owed to our senatorial royalty?
Lisa Madigan, the Illinois AG and the dem’s best hope to hold the seat announced she will not run for the senate, she’s running for re-election or for governor. Mark Kirk, the Repub, will be a very strong candidate.
Thanks.
We need to pick up Obambi’s old seat just to stick it to the WH. How do you like that Rahm you creep!
Nah. He was paid off in the beginning.

Rep. Kirk (my congressman) should lose the primary to a conservative, Dr. Eric Wallace. His site is www.wallaceforillinois.com.
I hope that State Rep. Elizabeth Coulson will run for Kirk’s seat. She’s been a legislator since 1997.
