As a black man, I am apalled at how easy it was to flip the black vote. This guy shows me nothing. I have to believe that he knows he has no chance at the presidency so he must be a GOP plant. He'll get paid and of course a book deal. Is there any way one can sue the Dem party for allowing non Dems to vote for our candidate? This country needs Hillary in the worst way! You are so right.

I have talked to six people that I consider intelligent, rational people that lean democratic in voting in the last two weeks, not a single one of them knew anything about Rezko and these are people that read the print media on a regular basis, they knew nothing about it. It's an incoming volley that hasn't gotten there yet. It's going to sink his candidacy and perhaps it should. I'm not sure what is worse to me personally - having someone blatantly corrupt (or dumber than a tick full of blood considering his judgment on the Rezko real estate thing) as president or having McCain. I was kind of hoping I wouldn't have to make that decision. McClatchy is our newspaper here I can't recall one article on the Rezko thing.

I personally would rather cast no vote than cast a vote for a person I feel uncomfortable with, in spite of the supreme court issue. If Obama is the nominee, he will have to work very hard and show me something I have as yet to see from him or his wife, and it would start very simply with exhibiting some humility instead of arrogance and duplicity.

Oh, maybe Chris Matthews would be a less partisan moderator? I was an Edwards supporter and will vote for the nominee, although I don't really care that much for EITHER of them. That being said, I read some pretty unflattering reporting about Obama's tactics in eliminating his opponents in his state senate race; I believe it was in the Chi. Sun-Times. Sorry I don't have the link. Also, if you think he's put Rezko behind him, the trial will begin in a couple of weeks. Of course the MSM will probably sweep coverage of that under the rug, just like all the rude things his staff has said about Hillary. He keeps himself above the fray, but staffers are allowed free rein. Nice. That SacBee article creeped me out! Shouldn't his supporters at least know his actual positions? Rezko, Exelon, Odinga, Auchi, the list goes on. Be clear - he is a POLITICIAN, folks. He and Michelle have been planning this from day one (BTW, what woman in her right mind brings along her fiance to vet a job prospect? I'm guessing Hillary wouldn't have put up with that!). Again, I will support the nominee (unless some nastier thing comes out, then maybe a write-in). I WOULD like to see more one-on-one debates, even on Fox - at least that would let us see how Obama can stand up to the right. Since he's NEVER had a real opponent befor, it might be good to know what we're in for. At least we know Hillary can stand up to them and fight - we're going to need that. Also, her baggage is already out there (referring to his crack today about the GOP "having dirt on her." WTF is THAT supposed to mean?
