Scandal simmers

According to the great site by Nate Silver, Obama's favorability rating hasn't been hurt by the Gov. Blagojevich scandal...yet.

I think Obama is in the clear, but if he continues to play word games much like Bill Clinton did during Monica-gate, he'll find himself in deep trouble.

It seems clear SOMEONE on his staff contacted Blagojevich and had talks with him about the seat. My guess it was either Alexrod, or Rahm Emanuel who took over Blagojevich's seat in the House when he became Governor.

It is also clear that Jesse Jackson Jr. is fucked, and he either fucked himself or his dad did it to him.

In any case, this all stinks. And it annoys me that yet again, there's a Democrat getting into the White House and not having shit following him into the office. Let's hope this isn't a Clinton-Whitewater redux that goes on for years on end slowly eroding any effectiveness Obama can have and assassinating his approval rating.
