or the scandal. If you haven't heard, yet another Illinois governor is in hot water again and may go to jail. My suspicion is he won't because he'll sing like a bird. One of the puzzling things about the campaign is why the McCain campaign is why they didn't focus on the corruption of Chicago politics and the inevitable connection to Barack Obama. Chicago politics make New Orleans look pristine by comparison. "Man is conceived in sin and born in corruption, and he passeth from
the stink of the dydie to the stench of the shroud," says Willie Stark in All the Kings Men by Robert Penn Warren based on the life of the real Governor Huey Long. No one passes through the Democratic machine in Chicago and comes out clean. Axelrod is a Chicago thug. All of Obama's top people are part of the Daley machine. More on the scandal here

Here is my dilemma as a lifetime registered Republican consevative American: I don't want Obama to fail as a President, particularly now as he appears to be crafting a middle of the road cabinet. To be honest, so far, this is the best Republicans could hope for considering WE LOST. What is worse than Obama? How about President Biden? Not scared enough? President Pelosi.
