Burris will be seated in the Senate.What would be the purpose of meeting with him if he wasn’t thinking about caving? And since Reid has stepped it by sounding racist rejecting the three top runners for the seat (who all happen to be black), he may cave just to change the headline and avoid this comparison. But more importantly, they would rather just get a Democrat in there and avoid a special election that might switch the seat to Republican hands.
