you are right about nobody doubting how Burris will vote. He's a reliable vote. Paterson made a bad choice – period.

At least Roland Burris is a real progressive. I believe Paterson is trying to help the Clintons undermine Obama's agenda with this pick.

He was in the state senate. I will keep saying it Leecia Eve and Crystal Peoples should've been put in serious consideration.

Oh me too SDG, I usually write at least one blog post a week about Ah-nold and how he's effed up CA since he's refused to sign a budget since July! Co-sign on the idiocy. Doesn't anyone want to take a stand for what's right anymore. Between this and the massive corporate welfare that's bleeding this country dry our new President has his work cut out for him!

Liberal for pay. The entire blog and the entire 'progressive' movement. Ignores truly progressive candidates for those in name only. It's time to start mounting some support for a new Senator and Governor!!! I'll donate. At least Blago did the right thing and appointed a qualified candidate who's paid their dues.

Crystal Peoples. Leecia Eve – who he backstabbed to get appointed in the first place. Those are the first 2 that come to mind. It kills me that his selection just 'loves' Hillary! And of course all the discussion of 'women' in the Senate is about white women. Burris is the only Black person serving right now and we know Harry Reid wanted Lisa Madigan. WTF!!!!

She was Hillary's choice to replace her. Didn't you know?

Shumer didn't want another star in Caroline Kennedy either.

Paterson bowed to political (fundraising) pressure.

It's called pay for play. The only thing different between New York and Illinois is that there are no recordings.

Paterson really fucked that up, didn't he?

She's basically a Republican in Democratic clothing.

from what i've heard so far about this woman, this was an asinine decision by paterson. it underscores his cowardice.

was there not a single woman of colour who could have had this seat? paterson seems incompetent.

“Kos has a front pager saying that it's a win-win situation and that it wasn't his fault that Caroline got the shaft. That as soon as Gillibrand takes office, she will veer hard left.”

-Of course she will. (snark)
