Default Did no one else see THE "nail in the coffin" ad against Ozinga???

aragx6 is 99.999% certain to win that bet -- Story in Crain's covered it well:

Chicago Business News, Analysis & Articles | National Democrats dump on Rod in House race | Crain's

If the link expires, the gist is that Democrat's Congressional Campaign Committee was running about $1 Mil in ads FOR Halvorson that explicitly LINKED Blago to Ozinga. And the story details that Rahm was formerly head of DCCC. Of course, Rahm declined to say if he signed off on the add, or knew who did, but he does say he liked the ad and that it "did level the playing field...".

Chet, I thought you had been hit by a bus! Welcome back.

Rahm is a cunning strategist. Blago's political career is dead in Illinois, and he will only get a cush federal appointment if he has some dirt on Obama that needs to be placated.

No bus, but the double whammy of some family health issues and a personal situation has kept me out of circulation.

I agree that Rahm is not going let Blago anywhere near the new POTUS-elect, and unless there some kind of "box of secrets", like in The Shield, Obama will do nothing to help...

I never said in the Cabinet or on a high level. I think if he does not get thrown in jail he will get a job from administration in the Federal government; maybe I should have clarified that.

Still waiting for that federal government position for Blago, buddy...

Looking back, this thread makes our Obama-hating peanut gallery look pretty silly.

I think you failed to read all my posts which came a month before Blago was arrested. Also looking back to what he was up to, that came to light in December, it is quite possible he could have had a federal job.

The point of me posting this thread was to kind of point out what was going on behind the scenes without saying specifically what was going on.

Hmmmm... I don't know about that. Maybe if you bought my amp I might agree with you.

I still have to come check it out. Hold on to it just a little bit longer if you can.
