Ha! I love these "Rovean conspiracy" out to get Blagojevich threads!

Rove is the new Clenis.

Once we start winning, friends, we really do have to lower the gripe quotient.

1. Just further proof that the GOP wanted to dump

all this crap on Obama! This was going to be Roves "October Surprise" but they held back until now for obvious reasons.

2. No, if anything it means that Fitzgerald didn't want to politicize this by announcing it prior to

the election. I think that was the correct thing to do since it really doesn't involve Obama--but certainly the GOP would have made hay of it had it come out days before the election. Though we all knew, I think, that Blaggo was under investigation.

7. Also, apparently the tipping point was auctioning off the senate seat

The notion that he thought he could wrangle secretary of anything out of Obama, who knows how dirty the guv is, tells you about how many cards are in Blagojevich's deck. The prosecutors did the Dems a favor here---whoever the Lt Gov appoints to the Senate will not be tainted

3. Could You Elaborate

As an illinoisan, i think Blago is dirty. The obvious reason for me, is that it longer to get the details of evidence needed to take action.

What are your reasons?

6. Rove didn't want McCain to win, the GOP wanted the

Democratic Party to inherit the mess, so they held back and now are going to work to taint Obama.

Notice Drudges new headline?

GRAND JURY SUBPOENAS ISSUED ON REZKO/OBAMA LAND DEAL

8. Sorry, That Doesn't Relate To Why Blago's Arrest.. . .

. . . is connected. How are you making that connection, because i honestly don't see it.
GAC

[ben_meyers]

11. Makes no difference if you see it

the GOP and the media will make the connection.

All this was going on around Obama but he was unaware?

[ProfessorGAC]

12. He Was In D.C.

If Obama has the PR machine, and i think he does, the simple answer is "He wasn't in Illinois the last 4 years."

Keep banging on that, and that solves it. The problem with the Dems for years now, is that refuse to bang on the message. BEAT THE DRUM!

4. "obvious reasons"?

Such as?

[Bucky]

5. Pfff, obviously they destroyed the economy & ruined their reputations on purpose

It's all part of the plan, man. Part of the obvious plan. By tanking the economy and making Americans hate Republicans now, they're quietly, stealthily conspiring to win back the White House in 2020. Wheels within wheels, my brother.

[ProfessorGAC]

9. Good One, Bucky!

[Raskolnik]

10. Ah, *that's* why Blago was arrested today as opposed to last week or next week.

I don't know how I didn't see it before...
