You've Gotta Be Kidding Me: Burris Still A 2010 Wild Card? Sen. Roland Burris (D-Ill.) has woeful poll numbers, paltry fundraising and mounting competition for his appointed Senate seat vacated by his predecessor, President Barack Obama. The cloud of Rod Blagojevich still hovers above him, as the former Illinois governor’s corruption trial is set to begin soon.
