If he is honest and forthright he will weather the storm because other stuff will come up to push this aside. But it is a good gauge on how he handles troublesome people. If he can't get a handle on this guy, how is he gonna handle the real crazy people in this world. Personally I believe in bribery and I would have a lot <BR/>more respect for him if he finessed it a little better. Politics ain't beanbag, he's got to show he can handle big leauge pitching.

This seems much more germane to this point.wstachourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12447198404608861357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14231145.post-59168657398106058352008-04-29T23:52:00.000-07:002008-04-29T23:52:00.000-07:00Bob Herbert is dead on in this case, but I disagre...Bob Herbert is dead on in this case, but I disagree that Obama is going to get out of it. The sticking point will be that he went to that church for 20 years and it's going to be his downfall.Duvinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06890968410296695768noreply@blogger.com
