Important Obama Post

With Kudos to Instapundit the Magnificent...I guess I should be blogging about Tuesday's primaries. But something tells me that this story, on ABCNEWS.com, is the real story, from now until general election day:

With the corruption trial of one of Sen. Barack Obama's longtime friends and supporters set to begin Monday in Chicago, Ill., reform watchdogs say it will reveal the "cesspool" of Illinois politics in which Obama came of age and has said little about in his campaign for president.

"We have a sick political culture," said Jay Stewart, the executive director of the Chicago Better Government Association, "and that's the environment that Barack Obama came from."

Stewart says he does not understand why Obama has lectured others about corruption in Washington and Kenya but "been noticeably silent on the issue of corruption here in his home state, including at this point, mostly Democratic politicians."

There was no immediate comment from the Obama campaign.

It won't stick in the primaries, since Hillary and Bill's connections are so much worse. But it will during the general - McCain might have made several very stupid decisions, but he didn't build his political foundation on thugs, gangsters, and killers.

(There's a JFK joke in there somewhere, but I'm not biting...)
