The assumption the guy will be any more hated than any generic Democrat is rather foolish considering Blago will no longer be in office and a bad memory by then, and he's the only thing holdng any Democrats in the state down.
If this guy acts like as much of a clown as he already does, I'm sure he'll give us plenty of things to use against him.
...and any potential primary challenger.
but what if he's the only negro!
Blacks only make up about a quarter of primary voters. In 2004 Obama won the white vote. Burris has no crossover appeal.
but there could be like 57 white candidates and Burris wins with 4%
