Rod Blagojevich beat Roland Burris in the 2002 Democratic primary race for Illinois governor, just as Paul Simon beat out Burris in a primary race for the Senate in 1984. Burris also ran unsuccessfully against Richard M. Daley for Chicago mayor in 1995. And there have been other electoral losses.

Burris was last elected as anything in 1991 -- serving one term then as Illinois Attorney General. But here he is in 2009 -- smiling.

Because he has enough money to buy the Senate seat from Blagojevich AND pay off the Senators too.
