Jesse Jackson, Jr. Just Threw His Hat Into the Ring For Senate in 2010

Here is the money quote:

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.

While I agree with the sentiment, this is Representative Jackson's first salvo in a primary battle.
