#1 Yeehah! Ride 'em, cowboy!

More seriously, what happens if the Obama campaign is indicted before -- or after -- November 4th? Does it become a one-candidate election, does Hillary Clinton take Obama's place on the ballot by implication? There really doesn't seem to be time to reprint and replace ballots for the entire nation...

#2 That source would be better named HuzzyBull. Cause that's what this is. There is no way Fitzmas comes early this year.

#3 This will come after Obama is elected. Like Watergate did for Nixon. If the press had any integrity it would be all over this crooked SOB.

#5 I'm not so sure, .5MT The feds have officially opened a RICO investigation. They don't do that on a whim. The PUMAs have been saying for some time that they were lied to, locked out of and sometimes physically intimidated from participating in caucuses that won Obama the nomination.

If ACORN vote fraud is tied in some legally sustainable way to his campaign, PUMA affidavits will contribute to making the case for racketeering. Big 'if' there ....

#6 Here's the link to the documentary about the Obama campaign's strong-arm tactics during the primaries. These people, all Democrats, seem legitimately PO'd. Based on their testimonies in the film, I can't blame them.

This is the first time I've ever really heard anything about this, at least in this much detail. Of course, the MSM ignored the entire thing. Go figure.

#7 What this amounts to is a coup by Hillary and her supporters, to be followed by a major purge of the Democrats once Obama loses. But from there, the scheming gets interesting.

The real Obama backers came up with him in the first place not to win the presidency, but solely to beat Hillary. They only thing they have to assure now is that he survives until election day.

However, they long ago knew that once he had lost the general election, Hillary would be in de facto charge of the Democrat party, and would purge Obama supporters. So his real backers kept quiet and in the background, to avoid being purged themselves.

Hillary, in turn, while almost having to purge the party, will not make any friends doing so. In fact, it will make her lots of enemies. And this means that in the next election, there is going to be a powerful block of old and new enemies to stand in her way.

#9 I don't see any RICO investigation continuing past February in an Obama administration. It will get closed down quietly, and the MSM will be told that the investigation 'fizzled out for lack of evidence'. The MSM will believe that of course and report it verbatim.

Pat Fitzgerald will be dismissed. He's a U.S. attorney appointed by GWB and thus may be dismissed at will. There won't be a fuss about it like there was when Gonzales dismissed those eight U.S. attorneys. It'll just happen. If Obama is deft he won't even have to fire the man, he'll just have someone 'talk' to him, and Fitzgerald will 'resign to pursue other activities'. Quietly.

The Chicago Way is to control the prosecutors and the judges so that you can do what you want without fear. It's no big surprise in Chicago that the Cook County sheriff and the Cook County States Attorney are big Daley allies. That's how you do it. Toss in effective control of the editorial boards of the major newspapers (or at least the ability to spin them to your interests) and you're gold.
