Burris may run for re-election after all

Sen. Roland Burris (D-Ill.) may change his mind and seek re-election after all.

The Illinois Democrat told ABC News that, despite a previous decision not to seek a full term to the seat he was appointed to, he’s now being urged to re-consider.

“You never say never,” Burris told ABC News in a “Subway Series” interview for the ABC News program “Top Line.” The “Subway Series,” which debuts on Monday, features interviews with senators and other political leaders on board the Capitol Hill subway.

“What I’m still hearing,” Burris said, is “people from all over the country and they are saying, ‘Don’t give up that seat.'”

Burris had previously said he would not seek a full term, citing his inability to raise enough money. A number of Burris’s colleagues, including Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) had said they would not back Burris in 2010.
