If I were a betting man...

...and I'm not, for what that's worth, I think you'll see Roland Burris announce within the next 72 hours that he's stepping aside as one of Illinois' senators.

The man has no support from his fellow Illinoisans. He has no support among his fellow Democrats. And perhaps most damaging, he appears to be rapidly losing support among African-Americans.

Sure, the Senate is not likely to expel one of its own. But does anyone in Washington really want this situation to come down to whether Democrats would have to vote to boot one of their own? Burris couldn't be that narcissistic, could he?
