Education is most important quality

I was saddened to hear Bobby Rush make the Senator replacement fiasco even worse by making it a race issue, saying that we must replace an African-American with another African-American.

As a citizen of Illinois, I don't care about the color of the skin of the person who represents me. Nothing against Roland Burris, but I would like to change the focus and replace a Harvard graduate with another Harvard graduate.

That's who I want representing me.
