ABC News: Photo of Clintons: Obama Achilles Heel on Other Foot?
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/story?id=4192372&page=1

"An undated photo of Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., and her husband posing with Chicago landlord, and former Obama fundraiser Tony Rezko, raised eyebrows today. But will the photo blunt the effectiveness of one of Clinton's most recent attack points against rival Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill.?

The photo, which first appeared on the Drudge Report, and was carried by several media outlets, shows Rezko — who awaits trial next month on federal corruption charges — flanked by the Clintons. The date, the context and the source of the photo are unclear."

4. Do with....WHAT? A Carol Mosely Braun fundraiser?
Supporting another woman who was running for office?

This is the definition of pathetic.

10. There's as much evidence there as with Obama.
So maybe now the Clintons will shut up about Rezko now that they've been caught.

3. When they keep digging, though...and they will, they'll discover that
Obama's campaign misstated the amount of cash they got from slumlord Tony. By a LOT, too.

A few outlets (ABC, AP) have already picked up on it. Obama gets the "pic" for South Carolina, but the blowback might not be too swift for him.

5. I've got your number. You are a Clinton fan, so we should go for the
gusto. I've read them also, and I'm troubled. But we shall see. In the meantime, you support your gal, and see how much this country will change. Have a good time while I tell you what a dumbass you are.

One day we'll agree.

6. No, I am not a "Clinton fan." I simply find the sexist, vicious, piling on here
pretty fucking hideous. I'm down to two candidates, and the other one doesn't catch the shit she does.

7. Your coyness intrigues me. What are you waiting for?

I've declared, why don't you? It gives you free reign to trash everyone, Except Hillary, as you're so good at doing?
What The Fuck Ever.

Let me know, but I think I already do. Again, declare, and then your trashing of Obama will be understood.

8. Coyness, my ass. I've said what I intend to do on primary day here a dozen or more times.
I'm taking a Kennedy half into the booth and flipping it. Heads, Clinton, tails, Edwards. Either one is fine with me. I ruled out Obama months ago, and I was straightforward about my reasoning for that here, too.
