[...] All Silky has to do is slip a few more points and we may see that alleged Obama scandal-bomb detonated after all. The money [...]

I don’t know what Obama could have done that’s worse than what Bill and Hillary have already done. Any scandal can easily be compared to Bill and Hill’s rich past and the voters would just get bored and more cynical.

No doubt Obama is dirty and part of it is Rezko. Whether or not it’s the only thing they have on him, time will tell.

Rezko is tight with the current Gov, Blagojevich, but not with Mayor Richie Daley. Daley is tight with the Clintons. Brother Bill was Clinton’s Sec. of Commerce before he became Gore’s campaign manger.

Those in the know predict that Rezko will take down Blago and the fallout might wash over to Obama. Rezko sold a very expensive piece of land to Obama for peanuts, far below fair market value. And Rezko is under investigation for “pay for play” with Blago.

That’s what is so confusing about this. There is so much dirt on the Clintons out there, that it wouldn’t take much for Obama to filter it to the masses. Whatever dirt she has on Obama must be pretty serious for her to risk playing this game.

Maybe the “neutral” Democrat who was on the receiving end of this story and then reported it to Novak was the object of a hot air balloon test.

Hillay’s forces contact respected Dems with gossipy rumors and see how it goes over. If the Dems are appalled they hold back. If the Dems rub their hands in glee they proceed.

Which leads one to wonder what dirt on her he might be keeping safely tucked away for just such an occasion.

I think the more pertinent question is what kind of dirt can be left on her that hasn’t already been exposed.

letting Edwards skip down the primrose path to victory.

Thanks for planting that visual in our heads.

Assuming he does have something on her, will he use it if she wins Iowa and New Hampshire?

He’ll have to. If she promises him the VP slot to shut-up, she’ll torpedo him in 2016 for fun and he’ll never be pres. Does he know that? On the other hand, Bill will prob. be dead by then, and Hil will be free to enter a new civil union.

I think a more interesting question is: What is the dirt she supposedly has on Obama?

If Richard Armatage would just step up and admit he and Obama are lovers, we could get beyond this.

Whether the first story was true, Novak's story seems to be following a trajectory similar to this. Insight Magazine didn't have any proof behind the allegations purportedly made by the Clinton camp; but then again, the story was equally about about the source and the scandalousness of his or her assertions as it was about Obama. Perhaps the Novak's ambiguity here will force the "scandal" out. Perhaps.

Really? I kinda think it’s up for grabs.

Well, I hope you’re right. The thought of HRC as president gets me a little Baldwin-ish…it makes me want to relocate.

I just seem to remember that the MSM called wins for Kerry and Gore right up to election day, those exit polls were truth personified, right?

Zogby had Kerry winning by 50 electoral votes.

Hilary will try like hell to steal this election but she will fail. I have great fatih in the sanity of the American people as a whole.

*sigh* It won’t matter. I’ve resigned myself to the belief that Hillary will get the nomination, and will probably win the general.

It’s gonna be a rough 4-8 years.
