A recent Politico article takes a look at the cakewalk that Roland Burris has had on the way to the Senate, with not a single question asked about where he stands on the issues. It highlights the absolutely disgusting absurdity of people like Bobby Rush making the issue of whether to seat him solely about race. So much for that whole "content of character" thing...
Obama made it to the White House largely with indifference to his race, so why is it necessary to behave this way in regards to Burris?
The article also looks at how the treatment of race compares to the treatment of gender in politics, and it doesn't even hit the tip of the iceberg on this topic.
