Blago, the embattled governor of Illinois, called the Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's bluff in a dignified and skillful manner. By simply continuing to do his job, despite his being impeached by the Illinois House and facing a conviction in the Illinois Senate, he demonstrated just how to be cool when faced with seemingly overwhelming pressures and odds that places him squarely in the line of fire from many directions-both politically and legally. This blogger doubts whether the IL Senate will convict the governor once the evidence is weighed against the requirements for conviction and removal from office. But we all will know the outcome by the end of next month, February 2008

And so the knee Jerk US Senators,Reid and Durbin, relented after making fools of themselves; literally. Roland Burris was given the oath of office, is now the Junior-Senator from Illinois, and has taken his seat this date. Hurrah! Truly the people of Illinois are the real winners because of the irrefutable fact that an honest-hard working man is now seated to represent the them in a dignified and non-corrupt and noteworthy manner. Good Luck Senator Roland Burris!

I analyze and comment. But you-the reader-decides!
