This morning on CBS' Face The Nation, both Sen. Dick Durbin and Roland Burris appeared to discuss the ongoing saga over Illinois' vacant Senate seat.  Watch:

So did Durbin "soften his stance" since Friday, as the AP reported following the interview?  You can judge for yourself.  But I'm not convinced.  All I heard him say is that the Senate Democrats are reviewing the new document from Secretary of State Jesse White, as well as Burris' testimony before the House impeachment commitee last Thursday.  He didn't say that the document appears to satisfy the Senate rules.  He didn't retract what he said two days ago -- that his preference is to have the impeachment process run its course, after which Lt. Gov. Pat Quinn will name a "clean, legal, respectable" appointment. 

Durbin did say that, out of fairness, the Democrats plan to come to a final decision in the near future regarding Burris, rather than just wait several weeks until Blagojevich is gone as governor.  So I guess that's news.
