As an update to my post this morning, we have this from the CNN Political Ticker:

Sen. Dick Durbin repeated Wednesday that he would not support his colleague from Illinois, Sen. Roland Burris, for re-election in 2010.

Durbin said he told Burris that he was “disappointed” to read a federal wiretap transcript, released on Tuesday, which showed that the junior senator had offered former Gov. Rod Blagojevich campaign cash while trying to win a Senate appointment.

“We stuck our neck out for him and said if you do this thing, you’ll do it in a proper, professional way, then we can stand behind you being sworn into the Senate,“ Durbin said, according to NBCChicago.com. “And I just don’t think his testimony was complete and accurate.“

Hey, wait a minute. I thought the deal was that Burris wouldn’t run in 2010. Am I remembering that wrong, or has he amended that position, too?
