I wish rezko trial would be over quickly

[Fresh_Start]

the democratic party does not need a high visibility trial of Democratic politician corruption.
Even though I believe that the GOP has shot itself in the face, political corruption had turned the stomach of many voters (at least according to the 2006 exit polls which said it was a big issue for the voters)

1. Theres nothing there

No worry

[Fresh_Start]

3. no Fitz did not indict over nothing

I have confidence in Fitz

[tammywammy]

6. Exactly

Blagovich, not Obama. :)

[Fresh_Start]

10. yes, but the democratic party doesn't need a democratic corruption

trial lingering into November

[tammywammy]

12. Agreed to a point

I don't think this will spill over into the national media as much as some are thinking.

[Fresh_Start]

14. I don't know, Fitz has got quite a following

hell his engagement made the news

[tammywammy]

15. I can see what you're saying

We shall see then. :)

[leftynyc]

27. You're dreaming

Front page coverage in the US and Europe.

[billbuckhead]

4. Nothing there except that bargain priced house BO got from Rezko

[Jed Dilligan]

7. I've rented from obvious criminals because they offered rents I could afford.

Does that make me corrupt?

[Fredda Weinberg]

17. A favor like that should preclude you from an office where you could

reward those obvious criminals.

[Jed Dilligan]

18. Was it a "favor" or a discount?

I'm still not convinced.

[Fredda Weinberg]

19. If you get a deal because of who you are ... that's a quid for a quo n/t

[Jed Dilligan]

20. When property is on the market a long time,

businessmen discount it.

I tend to think that the main reason people are excited over this is that Rezko has dark skin, a hooked nose, and a foreign-sounding name.

I also think he might walk on all charges--the case is rather nebulous. And isn't that failure of a prosecutor Fitzgerald in charge of it?

[Fredda Weinberg]

21. The deal depended on selling the entire plot, which Obama could

not do alone. This is a specific favor, so the Chicago press is right to highlight the relationship.

As for the rest, I don't frankly care. What I've seen so far is enough ... HRC has gotten through her first term w/o a whiff of scandal.

[Jed Dilligan]

24. She doesn't need to be corrupt,

she is already rich from her husband's corruption.

[REDFISHBLUEFISH]

25. Obama looks dirty here.

[nonconformist]

22. If you're running for president, yes. It's unethical. nt

[REDFISHBLUEFISH]

26. yep

[REDFISHBLUEFISH]

23. Did you take illegal campaign contributes and save 300K on a house?

If so then yes!

[Fresh_Start]

8. Its not about Obama its about the Illinois Governor

a democrat

[Fresh_Start]

2. Meaning Illinios Governor Blagovich nt

nt

[Jed Dilligan]

5. I hope it's over soon so that people will shut up about it, too.

There's clearly no wrongdoing on Obama's part, and Clinton bringing it up was what brought me from neutral to negative. It was racial shit-stirring and nothing else.

[Fresh_Start]

11. yes, exactly it needs to get over for the party

because the GOP will make hay with the corrupt Illinois Governor

[Nitrogenica]

9. It's not a high visibility trial of Democratic politician corruption.

Sorry that craps not going to work at all this time.

This is not 2004.

[Fresh_Start]

13. you think Blagovich corruption won't be high visibility?

I'm hoping that Rezko pleads so its over quickly.

[Nitrogenica]

16. Compare this to what's happening with the economy.

The righties are officially over. This half-truth powered crap has no long term future anymore.

Wake up.
