I am sincerely happy for Senator-Select Burris. Wonderful ! A new Senate Precedent. History by the moment !

This is so very nice. The President Elect now has his vacated seat filled by a man truly deserving of the office of Senator. Really nice. Congratulations to everyone for making the best decisions and advancing democracy.
