I have to disagree with you on Rezko. That was put under a press microscope last fall, and a judicial proceeding now with nothing more than the slight ding Obama took from it. Plus I doubt McCain is eager to invite a detailed rehashing of his various dealings with less than savory characters. That's probably why someone like Ayers is a great foil for McCain to start picking at, it's not symmetrical with his weak spots. All I can say about Rove is that ruthless, amoral brilliance is truly scary. What is the sum total of Rove's work? A president at 28% approval and a VP at a pathetic 15%. That is political failure. Of course, the "base" got to line their pockets very comfortable the last eight years, which may have been the point of the whole exercise anyway. If you find anything new on Rezko that adds up to anything, please post it. Otherwise there are plenty of other issues to focus our noggins on. ;<)

Well Hillary has been through it all and those who dislike her as some who post here would just have to rehash the same old stuff adding the Bosnia adventure and a few other errors. However, Obama is fresh meat. AND you know how vultures love fresh vs. stale. Incidentally I listened to a psychologist on a true crime scene drams describe how when one is away from an adventure and looks back on it the mind can play some enhancing tricks. Like Hillary believing that she really WAS in danger and taking a risk. In time that memory is enlarged and it is not really a lie but the way the mind works to make a story look better than it was. She is a victim of her own exhaustion and need to prove something .. that she is a better candidate. After hearing this I forgave her for her fabrication.
