I agree with Michael. It seems like Burton is pretending that everything is ok. He seems to acknowledge the scandals, but pushes them away and doesn’t let them completely override what he thinks of Stanton. Nothing at all will make Burton walk away from Stanton. it seems like Burton acknowleges that all politicians screw up. their screw ups just aren't widely publicized!
I would have to disagree with Janine’s comment on Cari’s post. Burton would not back down, even if he thought Stanton had no chance at all. Burton even says this to his parents in chapter 5. He though he didn’t believe that the campaign would make it past that weeks primaries, Burton said that he wouldn’t leave until it was over!

Excellent comments, Kaila. You are looking below the surface of not only the book but your classmates' thoughts as well!
