Yesterday afternoon, CBS 2 Chicago reported online that Sen. Roland Burris would be returning to Chicago that evening and planned on kicking off his 2010 election campaign at the Chicago nightclub "Vain" that evening.  The news wasn't altogether surprisng.  After all, as we noted earlier, he had just sent out a fundraising email to supporters noting that the second quarter filing deadling "is approaching."

But the CBS piece turned out to be inaccurate.  And they've since replaced that original article with a new one headlined, "Burris Won't Say If He'll Run In 2010."  In it, Mike Flannery reports: "Burris chose not to answer any questions later in the day at O'Hare International Airport, including whether he'll run for election in 2010."  No word about whether there was indeed a fundraiser held at "Vain" yesterday evening.

Strange stuff.

UPDATE: Capitol Fax has more.
