Jesse Jackson Jr. is 'Senate Candidate No. 5'

Nice prognostication based on nothing: "Well, so long as he never offered Blagojevich $1 million, or anything else, for that matter, JJJ should be fine."

Apparently, the reason why we are aware of Senate Candidate #5, as opposed to 1, 2, 3 or 4, is that the tapes and evidence seem to highlight this candidate's connection with the Governor and adds to the case against the Governor.

Debra,

I was being sarcastic. I think he's in a world of trouble. And you called it in the comment section earlier today!

Good going.

JESSIE JACKSON WAS ON OBAMA TEAM AND OBAMA WANTED HIS WOMAN ADVISOR TO GET THE POSITION . OBAMA WAS THROWING JESSIE JACKSON JR UNDER THE BUS HE USED HIM AND THEN WOULD NOT BACK HIM FOR THE POSITION , IF JACKSON JR WAS WILLING TO PAY HE WILL TURN STATES EVIDENCE AND BLOW THE CASE WIDE OPEN AND I DONT BLAME HIM , OBAMA USED JACKSON JR, THATS WHY SR DID NOT LIKE OBAMA HE SEEN RIGHT THROUGH OBAMA'S SCHEME ,

This just part of a series written last spring by Evelyn Pringle on the Obama/Rezko/Balgojevich connections . Only for those who want to think for themselves.

David,
Sorry for the missed sarcasm/humor....

The Governor must have been the loneliest person in the world. No one is admitting talking to him for more than a few minutes in the past couple of years!Everyone from IL State Reps/Reps, the IL Atty General, and the Obama camp....

Fortunately, "we" have the tapes (and hopefully, he wasn't just phoning himself!). Not a big fan of wire-tapping, but this is a good example of a good example.

Transparency is one of Blagoyavich strength. Its not entirely his fault if he is surrounded by " vultures" who are greedy for power.

You don't make deals with the mob, devil, or self-serving politicians. Basically, they are one in the same.

Who you gonna believe, Jesse Jr. or your lying ears?

Jesse Jackson Sr. resented President Elect Obama because he was not in his inner circle and could not influence him. How then was Jesse Jr. used? Jesse Jr. would have been a fool not to support Bararck after the primary. What Democrat in Illinois did not? None, of course, including the Governor.

I am kind of convinced that Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr. has nothing to do with the One Million Bid. However, I believe that Mr.Blagojevich sets such a high stake bid to enrich hismself and family for his political manpower. What a shame? The Rise and Fall of another Democratic Representatives and Governors! We are in trouble here.

The Adversary never supports his own. We'll see lots of people thrown under the bus before inaguration day.

Hello, media's B,S, Do you all dumb enought to think and tell us the American People the Jess,.Jr, did not offer the totally stupidest gov, $1,million cash, OH, Hell we are too dumb to not beleive the Jr, was an or ever was an HONEST MAN< NOr Was his old daddy either,
So, Like father cheat and liar, So is the bought and taught Family Son, Jr, throw the boy in Jail, too

None of us really know what took place or what was said. We also know that politics is a dirt business and politician don't always tell the truth, I don't think they know what the truth is. Let's wait and see what comes out and it will all come out I's sure.

I hate to keep laying this on you, wingnuts, but this isn't going to result in a do over. Obama won, and he's going to be president. As an American, you have a duty to stand behind your president, not that being an American is particularly appealing to wingnuts - too much fairness and balance required.

I cannot say that i'm shocked to see the name of Jesse Jackson Jr. amoung the list of people lining up for the vacant seat that Obama held. I always wondered what happened to Jackson SR. all during the Democratic Pres. campaigne, his lack of lip service, and that of his partner in crime, Al Sharpton, always struck me as strange. I have always had this picture of Obama calling them on the phone and saying to them," Look bro's, if I beat this white ho and win the election, there will be something in it for the two of you, but only if you keep your yaps shut!" "Are we clear", and on the other end of the phone we hear a resounding," Yassa Massa "

the ONLY connection is based on the words of Blago...which is not fact ...yet....even FAR from fact

if he is guilty...nail him...but check the facts before running with innuendo...

Clif kuplen...I just wonder if you were talking about the same fairness for our present President? Hmmmm

I can't say I'm shocked to see all the bats fluttering out of the belfry bloviating about what the impact of the Blagojevich foofaraw will have on Obama. It doesn't take much to get these guys whooping and hollering with joy. They weave their little fictional melodramas and succumb to the euphoria that their wishful thinking induces.

Listen up: Obama won the election. He WILL take office on Jan 20.
The past is over and done with. As Omar Khayham wrote long ago,

The Moving Finger writes; and having writ,
Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.

I must confess that I realize that reasoning with hard core political fictioneers like the Obama haters who post here is as futile as shoveling shit against the tide. There is no arguing with invincibly ignorant wishful thinkers.

If someone has evidence of a criminal nature that
directly implicates president elect Obama they should
bring it forth and present it to the proper law
authority. For some reason guilt by association
or guilt by misinterpretaion to many of us is the same
as guilt by involvement. This will end up being Obama's Whitewater.
He could stop all of this by using the remainder of
the transition period to give it priority and let
the critical issues go. The public would then see it
for what it was worth and his detractors would have
to slither back under their rocks.
