Sen. Roland Burris (D-IL), who last month said he won’t run for his Senate seat in 2010, seems to have changed his tune.

“You never say never,” he told ABC News.

“What I’m still hearing,” Burris said, is “people from all over the country and they are saying, ‘Don’t give up that seat.'”

Burris was appointed by former Gov. Rod Blagojevich, who was thrown out after allegedly trying to sell the seat vacated by President Obama.

Burris has raised very little money so far, and polls consistently show him losing the Democratic primary.
