Why? Burris is a US Senator, at least under the law if that matters anymore. Reid will lose this; Burris will win. Reid and the Dems look like racist fools.
This is a disaster for Reid. He is already in trouble with the Nevada voters and is having a strong challenge in his own party. he is a pompous ass of the third magnitude.
The Chicago Black is now very upset. When this is coupled with the insane termination of analog tv on February 1 ( done purely for political kick backs) , riots will follow requiring national guard and fire fighters from many cities to stem the violence and destruction. Reid will hide under his bed.
