I agree with Michael when he talks about Burton being so ensnared within the campaign that there is no turning back. Henry Burton feels that all he can do now is plow on ahead through the storm and hope for the best. Mr. Burton has become too attached to Jack, like Michael said, and if he abandons the campaign now it would be a terrible betrayal to his greatest role model.
Naomi makes a great point in that Henry Burton feels almost as if the Stanton family has taken the place of his own. Henry's family is disfunctional and no doubt he feels a little void in his heart where a happy, healthy family belongs and his relationship with the Stantons has probably subconciously became the familial reltionship that Burton desires. Like Naomi says, Burton feels a need to stand by and support his new "family" just as any other person would support their own family, no matter what.
