Reply #4: The Repub Opposition Research Files on Obama Have Not Yet Been Opened....

[Blackhatjack]

Almost 2 years ago it was reported on the QT that Republican opposition researchers had extensively investigated every page of Obama's book, his previous speeches, his record in the IL State Senate, and his personal life issues(ie. drug use, education, relationships, etc.).

Both Edwards and Clinton have been through highly publicized campaigns where the Repub candidates have used the opposition research collected on them. Not so with Obama.

If Clinton is the Democratic Nominee, there is plenty of 'tried and true' opposition research to use that has worked before when husband Bill ran and was in office.

Edwards comes out the cleanest of the three having run for President and VP in the last election cycle, and there being very little substance dredged up on him.

So far Repubs have sat back and watched Clinton and Obama duke it out knowing they are well armed with either of those as the Democratic Nominee. However, Edwards presents a real threat that will not be easily diffused if he becomes the Nominee.
