All that said, while I find this interesting, I don't think anyone cares about this per se, but I the Fred Baron-esque angle seems like the sort of thing that takes it out of the realm of "personal business" into public corruption.
There's another big twist too, which I can't say anything about. I wouldn't even hint about it, really, even if permitted to, because it's so delicious it makes it nearly fantastical -- in the sense of "No one gets this lucky!" -- and actually would be used to denigrate the rest of it. But there is a chance it gets more interesting than even the Chicago Machine connection.
Obama's Vacation: Not sure if this makes it more suspicious or if I'm now just being silly.
For days, the Obama campaign refused to confirm where the senator and his family were heading on a short Easter vacation, even as rumors spread among the press corps that they were bound for the Virgin Islands.
So that presented a conundrum for news organizations: Should they send a correspondent on the — presumably enjoyable — assignment to the Caribbean, to investigate the white sand beaches and clear blue waters?
As it turns out, CNN was the lone cable network to play a game of “Where in the World is Barack Obama?” Chris Welch, an off-air producer covering the Obama campaign since the Iowa caucuses, headed out to the islands.
How soon after the 0bamas got back from the islands did Michele disappear from the campaign trail?
Maybe that’s the real reason for her dropping out of the public eye.
