Sen. Roland Burris of Illinois, who was appointed last year to replace President Obama in the Senate, has decided he won't run in next year's election, after his Senate service was clouded by controversy, FOX News has confirmed.
Burris plans a formal announcement Friday in Chicago.
Burris reportedly reached his decision after struggling to raise campaign funds -- an estimated $20,000 so far, with campaign disclosures with the Federal Election Commission expected to be filed next week.

My guess would be that after raising $845 in the first quarter he will be reporting another dismal quarter when new numbers are due next week and he really had no choice but to not run.
