Post Bill Richardson withdraws name; possible scandal.
I'm sure if this was a republican this would have made the forum 20 minutes after it was announced. Anyways, thoughts?

His name isn't associated with the allegations, but he might have to be a witness to the investigation. I still wonder if he is just using this as an excuse because he wanted Secretary of State. I think he now realizes how meaningless Commerce actually is.

From what I heard (and I might have heard it wrong) on CNN yesterday, Obama forced him to withdraw because he didn't want a distraction, especially in the wake of Blagojevich scandal.

So much for political scandals stopping in 2009.....


Has anyone even come close to suggesting that there would be no political scandals in 2009?

Many CNN "analysts" felt that they would be less scandals in 09 than 08.


Like who? And "less" is not "none."

I'm just sick of the culture of corruption in the Democratic Party. At least the GOP was evil for the sake of being evil, the Democrats combine their evilness with greed....evil greed. And we all know that greed is evil, just ask the Democrats.
