So everyone's aware of Blagojevich. Old news, boring, washed up, we're sick of hearing about him. So I'm not going to write on that, you know the story. But I would like to point this situation out, just to help illustrate my point.
In Baltimore City, good ole Mayor Sheila Dixon was indicted on 12 counts. Good luck getting yourself out from that one, Mayor...especially with attorneys having been hard at work on this case for months.
Who else is under the radar? Dood, Spitzer, Richardson, etc. It's been a rocky start for the Democratic party, who suddenly has found themselves knee-deep in cases that they really don't want to be handling.
So what does this mean for the Obama administration? People have already cast a wary eye on the President-Elect, and the hype has significantly died down since the election ended. Granted, we will see a rebirth of that come Inauguration Day, but for now we see a sense of uneasiness among the Democratic Party. What would be the result of the emergence of an Obama scandal? It's hard to tell, but his links throughout the corrupted party (Blago, Richardson, etc.) ive us reason to be wary.
