But, but,but, Harry Reid says the dems are squeaky clean.

Of course Democrats were involved in this scandal. The most important thing to consider here, is that it is extremely difficult to PROVE a quid-pro-quo. Campaign contributions are legal. Unless you can PROVE that they were payment for a favor, it won't amount to anything.

They have Abramoff, and although we don't know what he is has said, it appears he is going to provide evidence of some Republicans offering a quid-pro-quo, for contributions. If he does, then this scandal has legs .. and it will be very damaging to those Republicans, who may be forced to resign. If they are guilty, then they need to be punished.

Have no doubt the Democrats and their friends in the media will blow this way up. They are already smiling and rubbing their hands together in anticipation.

Right now it doesn't seem that Abramoff has evidence of, or is willing to provide evidence of, Democrats offering a quid-pro-quo for a contribution. This is why the Democrats are so eagerly calling this a "Republican scandal".

In the end, we can't take too much comfort in knowing that Dems took money too, if there is no testimony that favors were offered for it. It's all still uncertain what is going to happen, but I'm just wanting to consider the all the possibilities here.

He said he couldn't recall whether he might have discussed campaigns with state employees during regular office hours.

Ah, the infamous Hillary defense rears its ugly head yet again...

Hey! Whatever happened to the tire slashing dems? That was in WIS, right? And the jury was deliberating, right? Oh, man, I'm sure I don't want to know.
