    Senate Dems To Seat Roland Burris After All

    Posted:
    01/7/09

    Well, a change of heart in a very uncomfortable situation. Senate Democrats pull an about-face, and will seat Roland Burris after all. Burris had met with Harry Reid earlier today, and the majority-leader, a staunch opponent of accepting disgraced Governor Rod Blagojevich's pick to fill Barack Obama's vacated seat, has recanted. I guess Reid saw the logic of Diane Feinstein's argument.

    For his part, Obama vows to work with Burris, if he is indeed seated.

    What will conservatives now say, seeing as so many of them were calling on the Dems to seat Burris? What about you, do you think Senate Dems did the right thing in the end?

    Are Senate Democrats right to seat Burris?
