Rahm on Tape with Blago?

[Riot]

You dont think the Governor of Illinois basically auctioning off the president elect's Senate seat is a big enough story with all the political strings attached especially with plenty of unnamed persons not yet named? If anything I think the RNC has been very quiet on the issue. It is a real stretch to say that until the total story comes out that the opposition party shouldnt question what may have happened. No evidence has come up because very little has been released. I personally have a hard time believing Obama's saying that his people had no contact with the Gov about the seat. That is really hard to believe that the new leader of the party wouldnt have some input on his successor. It isnt the end of the world if he did have contact because I dont think anyone wouldnt think he would not have called. But if he did why lie? That is my question.

Sure, it's a big story. Almost as big as the current Vice-President of the United States admitting he authorized torture.

The RNC has been extremely (laughably) vocal, trying desperately to somehow tie Obama to Blago's poor ethics and questionable activities (so far, all they have is both their names on the same page of newsprint)

When the prosecutor, Fitzgerald, goes out of his way to disavow Obama as being involved (in the ethics/legal problem), I believe him. Not Hannity, not Sneed

Obama never said "his people" had no contact, he said, "I" had no contact, which is true. Axlerod was the one that said no contact, with Emanuel having had contact. The Obama team then said right away that yes, members of the respective staffs have had contact.
