"Obama returned all the money his campaign received from indicted campaign donor Tony Rezko. ($20,000).

Actually, a bit of research shows that republicans, including GWB, also got money from Rezko.

"This is way bigger than Watergate folks.

And way smaller than the 911 cover-up (and I include plamegate).

McCain will win the nomination.

The wisdom of the DNC will let Hillary and Obama slug and bloody each other. Obama has the pledge delegate lead.
When the DNC super-delegates overturn the pledge delegates for Hillary or run to Obama side, one side will not vote, may vote for Nader or McCain.

If they overrule Obama, 90% of the black vote will be gone and all of the first time and young voters will join.
If jumping to Obama, over sixty years old and women will protest. I don''t want to miss the uneducated that Hillary always says she gets. They don''t know better.

Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama:

Dear Madam, and Sir,

A Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama ticket is what we want. And that is what we need to take back the Whitehouse. We want a smart, tough, idealistic, seasoned veteran of many battles fighting for the American people (Hillary Clinton). With a young, passionate, smart, open-minded, hard-working idealist fighting for the American people (Barrack Obama). The DREAM TEAM!

**************

This is an intriguing idea and has definite potential to produce democratic presidents for the next 16 years. At some point dems are going to have to come up with a plan to win the White House, not just the Democratic nomination. A Clinton-Obama ticket sets a course for the long-term, and that needs to be the goal.

Hillary''s only true ''core'' base are middle-aged women, seniors, and latinos. I''m not sure the blue-collar and white males are as devoted to her as they are to the idea of wanting to make sure Democrats are in the best position to win in November.

If that''s the case, I think if Barack''s able to put to rest doubts Pennsylvania might actually favor him. The whole talk of multi-million dollar redos with power struggles over the bill involving a Republican governor who might harbor a hidden preference for Hillary, the possibility of the do-anything-to-win Clintons throwing kitchen sinks for several more weeks and resorting to back-room dealings to sway superdelegates, etc ought to be making the highly practical blue-collar males hesitant to give the Clintons what they think they''ve got in the bag I would guess . . .

I don''t think Barack needs to prove he''s AS tough as Hillary, only tough enough to not be a ''wimp'' in the guys'' eyes (?) Bringing up the Clintons'' shady financials and having team Hillary shoot themselves in the foot with the Ken Starr reference might just be tough enough (?)

Pennsylvanians, do you really want four more years of the Clinton twins?

And yes, just where eactly, does all the experience Hillary claim to have come from?
A shyster lawyer in Arkansas linked to scandals there.
First Lady for eight years, she did not sit in on any national or international meetings.
A Senator from New York and she bought that one.
And yes, she also received a major donation, ($1,000,000), from indicted campaign contributor Norman Hsu that she had to return. Sound familiar?
Ladies, please don''t vote for Hillary simply because she is a woman. That would be the worst, most naive of reasons to vote for her.

I don''t believe either of the Clintons should be allowed anywhere near the White House.

I don''t.

And yes, just where does all the experience Hillary claim to have come from?
A shyster lawyer in Arkansas linked to scandals there.
First Lady for eight years, DUH!, she did not sit in on any national or international meetings.
A Senator from New York, gee, and she bought that one.
And yes, she also received major donations from a felon named Hsu that she had to return.
Ladies, please don''t vote for Hillary simply because she is a woman. That would be the worst, simple, and most naive of reasons to vote for her.
Incidentally, I am a male, white, 72 year old veteran, who voted for more women than men to hold my state''s political offices.

Antoin "Tony" Rezko, and Norman Hsu, Obama and Clinton
indicted campaign donors respectively, is nothing new for either candidate. Rezko gave 20 grand to Obama''s campaign. Hsu gave Hillary''s campaign $1 million. Both candidates returned all the money or donated it to charity when it was determined that the donations were illegal.
That these sort of people donate large sums to candidates, often to both sides, in hopes of later being repaid with political favors is old hat.
Sometimes they get away with it and sometimes not, and often, the candidates may not even be aware of it till later, too late.
To say that the Clintons are more free of corruption than Obama would be hard to believe.
