#1 It's the Chicago way. When its Governor Jack Ryan (R) running for the US Senate the Donks are able to get sealed divorce records made public, but when the winner of that little dirty political assassination work is running for Prez, all of the sudden those records are removed from public access. One set of rules for me, a different set of rules for thee.

#4 Yeah, not releasing those medical records really helped Kerry clinch the 2004 election. Why not try the same thing with Obama unless the info is particularly damning.

#7 Kass has it exactly right. Da Mayor won't allow those documents to be released.

Obama has a problem with thinking people who are independent, middle of the road types: what exactly has he done in each of the major jobs he's had?

Community organizer -- can anyone show me a school, park, senior citizens' home, etc that he made possible? The Annenberg Challenge was a complete flop and waste of money (except for the friends of Bill Ayers who did well).

Law professor -- good teacher but didn't write a single scholarly article

State senator -- didn't sponsor a single important piece of legislation

U.S. senator -- ditto; never convened his subcommittee, didn't reach across the aisle.

Reformer -- total captive of the Chicago and Springfield machines.
