The more desperate and mud slinging the Republican Right gets, the more their Polling numbers slump. It's probaby at the point that Obama need not even bother responding any more, and just let the GOP self immolate.

Rezko and Obama? Fugeddabout it. From a Right Wing Blog-

Rezko also was friendly with Obama - offering him a job when he finished law school, funding his earliest political campaigns and purchasing a lot next to his house. But based on the known facts, charges so far and testimony at Rezko's trial, there's no indication there'll be an October surprise that could hurt the Democratic presidential nominee - even though Rezko says prosecutors are pressing him for dirt about Obama.


"I think this strikes fear into the Blagojevich administration and the Statehouse Democrats but not into the Obama campaign," says state Sen. Kirk Dillard, R-Westmont, a John McCain delegate to the GOP convention but an old friend of Obama.

Alexi Giannoulias I had not even heard of until today. From the same Blog, some wishful thinking-

"Alexi Giannoulias, who became Illinois state treasurer last year after Obama vouched for him, has pledged to raise $100,000 for the senator's Oval Office bid.

Before he promised to raise funds for Obama, Giannoulias bankrolled Michael "Jaws" Giorango, a Chicagoan twice convicted of bookmaking and promoting prostitution.

Obama's ties to the Giannoulis family have been shrouded in mystery. If Fitzgerald can untangle the web, there very well may be something there that would cause Mr. Obama a lot of trouble - after he was president.

For in truth, there is no chance this will come out before the election. Fitzgerald has proven himself to be a very careful prosecutor - especially when aiming high - and will no doubt seek to build his case slowly. He may end up not even indicting Obama, seeing the enormous problems in trying to bring Obama to trial. But you can bet that Obama will be interviewed several times by the prosecutor and will himself, be on tenterhooks as to his fate.

Obama was simply caught up in business as usual Chicago politics - where there are times you can't tell the difference between the businessman, the politician, and the mobster. It is from this political culture our next president will have sprung."


You're whistling Dixie diehards- and meanwhile the McCain campaign offers a pretty much total vacuum of meaningful policies. Drill baby Drill just doesn't cut it I'm afraid. You'd better hope McCain has got a rabbit up his sleeve in the next debate, but I doubt it.
