wouldn't it be nice if we get a replay of gore losing his own state...
Sorry to say that won't happen here. The machine makes sure the appropriate people get elected each time, regardless of corruption, fraud, incompetence, record, mob ties, being in a coma (see Todd Stroger's Daddy)... Obama has served the machine well and he will be rewarded.

I think the debates could sew it up. If McCain and Palin perform well it's all over but the crying.
You call it the machine there?
We call it "The Blob" here.
Because all it does is keep growing and consuming.
Soon after becoming U.S. Attorney for Northern Illinois, Fitzgerald began an investigation of political appointees of Republican Illinois Governor George Ryan, who were suspected of accepting bribes to give licenses to unqualified truck drivers. Fitzgerald soon expanded this investigation, uncovering a network of political bribery and gift-giving, and leading to more than 60 indictments. Ryan, who did not seek re-election in 2002, was indicted in December 2003. At the conclusion of the trial, in April 2006, Ryan was found guilty on all eighteen counts against him. Ryan's co-defendant, Chicago businessman Larry Warner, 67, was convicted of racketeering conspiracy, fraud, attempted extortion, and money laundering. The two were sentenced on 6 September 2006: Ryan received a sentence of six and one half years, and Warner received a sentence of three years, five months.[7]
Against criticism that these cases were based on circumstantial evidence, Fitzgerald responded: "People now know that if you're part of a corrupt conduct, where one hand is taking care of the other and contracts are going to people, you don't have to say the word 'bribe' out loud.... And I think people need to understand we won't be afraid to take strong circumstantial cases into court."[8]
On July 18, 2005, Fitzgerald's office indicted a number of top aides to Democrat Richard M. Daley, the mayor of Chicago, on charges of mail fraud, alleging numerous instances of corruption in hiring practices at City Hall. Fitzgerald is also investigating the administration of current Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich. An investigation announced on December 30, 2005 will review contracts between the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority and vendors who signed leases to occupy the recently remodeled Illinois Tollway oases. Fitzgerald's office is investigating possible conflicts of interest between these vendors and one of Blagojevich's top fundraisers, Antoin Rezko.
In March 2006, former Chicago City Clerk James Laski pled guilty to pocketing nearly $50,000 in bribes for steering city business to two trucking companies. Thus far Laski is the highest-ranking Chicago official and Daley administration employee brought down by Fitzgerald's office in conjunction with the Hired Truck Program scandal.
U.S. Senator Peter Fitzgerald chose not to run for reelection in 2004, leaving Patrick Fitzgerald without a congressional patron. In the summer of 2005, there were rumors that he would not be reappointed to a second four-year term in retaliation for his conduct in investigations into corruption in Illinois and Chicago government, as well as for his investigation of the Plame scandal.[9] As of May 15, 2007, those "rumors" had not been realized. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Fitzgerald

One concern at the state level is that we have an aggressive federal prosecutor named Patrick Fitzgerald that has been locking them up left and right (pun intended). Both candidates have stated they would not replace or reassign him, but there is at least some concern that Obama might owe a few too many favors to follow through.
:roflAbolish the federal reserve. :aok
Vote for Ron Paul, he's your best chance to get a free country.
:roflI don't think he's running after he lost the Republican primaries. Bob Barr is running on the Libertarian ticket.

They would have done better digging up Karl Marx.They didnt dig him up, they found a really bright kid from Hawaii and dressed him in Karls old suit.
Problem is with these prosecutors. is they never seem to go after many of the BIG boys.
Oh sure they nab one here and there just to make it look good.
But its really pretty rare.
I don't think he's running after he lost the Republican primaries. Bob Barr is running on the Libertarian ticket.
It's a shame isn't it? Ron Paul is the only one with a bead on what's going on with USA. Everyone else are just riding the fast train, to wherever it's going, and don't care where it's going as long as they got a first class ticket.
