The GOP Marching Orders have already come down:
"Every time voters see Roland Burris, they'll think of that other notorious RB, Rod Blagojevich. Burris wants this Senate seat so desperately that he'll even accept it from a guy who allegedly tried to sell it....
"We will, though, have his chosen one, our junior senator, to remind us of how a governor about to be defrocked defied his own lawyer's pledge and filled Obama's seat. Of how Illinois Democrats, more obsessed with holding that seat for their party than with the scandal that threatened it, didn't try to preempt Blagojevich and give us citizens the election some of them said they wanted—until they just took the seat for themselves.
"Two years from now, maybe citizens will have done something about all of that. We can't reiterate too often that the first target date is Feb. 2, 2010. Polls open at 6 a.m. that day for the Illinois primary election. That's a Tuesday—385 days from this one. You can take any party ballot you wish."
