Burris is a political has-been who has always had a far higher opinion of himself than his actual accomplishments warranted. (Note: His children are named Rolanda and Roland Burris II, for what it's worth, so that says something too..) This is his last chance at higher office; he's run for Mayor of Chicago, Governor of Illinois and Senator - and failed each time. At present, the city only has one open congressional seat, and it's NOT in a black-majority area of town. (It's the one Rahm Emanuel just gave up to be Obama's chief of staff, and was held before him by Blagojevich.) Otherwise, there's no place upwards for him to go.
