: TalkLeftJackson, Jr. Criticizes Burris For Allowing "Racialization" Of IL Senate Seat Controversy
By Big Tent Democrat
Smart political maneuvering by Jesse Jackson, Jr:
Jackson supported Burris effort to claim the seat to which he was appointed by Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich but criticized him for allowing his supporters to play the race card. This racialization of the Senate seat is going to be a profound problem for Democrats, Jackson told Politico.
It seems fair to assume that Jackson wants to be the next Senator from Illinois. Criticizing the "racialization" of the Blago/Burris Affair BY Burris while at the same time supporting Burris' seating is shrewd political positioning by Jackson.
Well played sir.
