"BTW. Rezko is not calling any defense witnesses in his federal trial. He's not accepting a plea bargain. He's going to fall on sword with a max. jail sentence in order to be a good soldier, keep his mouth shut, and protect the Chicago machine."

Sounds familiar. Scooter Libby kept his mouth closed too.

There's another similarity with Scooter Libby. Rezko is probably counting on a Presidential pardon, too.

Will Judge Munoz change his mind if Hillary loses the primary? That is, will she be
be deposed about her role in the illegal solicitation and cover up of the largest contribution made to her Senate campaign? Or will this still wait until after November?

Lots of interesting information about Peter Paul (and other stories) that haven't hit the mainstream media! Why do you think Rush Limbaugh and Fox News are pushing so hard for Hillary? She would be such an easy target for the republicans!

So much for your prediction, Poetsheart. Druge reports that Clinton insiders are saying a 15 point loss in N. Carolina.

Oh shoot, Bill will have to repeat his South Carolina speech. I had hoped for a more entertaining one along the lines of a new beginning, how this Tuesday mattered more than all the other ones, or how the momentum was swinging in the direction of Hillary.

Can we bet that the Clintons' will find a positive twist even if they drop even lower in the delegates' tally.

Short of a monumental collapse in the late hours, this one might be over. Say it ain't so, Rush! Please.

I've had 5-6 Geek Squad guys over the course of today installing a home audio/flat screen TV system (they'll have to finish tomorrow), and I keep getting interrupted with questions, so I start reading a post, get interrupted, think I've finished reading it, and respond. I began reading the OP, sensing you were building up to something that you were really looking forward to, got distracted, and bought it.

teriwitt, I'm not sure that I've made myself clear. I was not trying to pull the wool over your eyes. I meant everything I wrote in my post.

Obama wins NC. Must be a BIG margin if they're calling it as the polls close.

Looks like she's going to clobber him in Indiana, though.

Well, it's off to the Y for me. One hour of cardio.....maybe more. I'll check back in at around 10:30 est. Carry on...
