Kenyan-born Obama all set for US Senate

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kenyan-born US Senate hopeful, Barrack Obama, appeared set to take over the Illinois Senate seat after his main rival, Jack Ryan, dropped out of the race on Friday night amid a furor over lurid sex club allegations.

The allegations that horrified fellow Republicans and caused his once-promising candidacy to implode in four short days have given Obama a clear lead as Republicans struggled to fetch an alternative.

Ryan’s campaign began to crumble on Monday following the release of embarrassing records from his divorce. In the records, his ex-wife, Boston Public actress Jeri Ryan, said her former husband took her to kinky sex clubs in Paris, New York and New Orleans. ...

Nope, this was the Obama campaign dirty tricks team. Oops! Confidential divorce records were "leaked". Don't look there! Look, kinky clubs!

[MichiganConservative]

Well there were lots of "conservatives" and FReepers from Illinois that decided it would be better to vote for the marxist community organizer because he was their marxist community organizer and not some kook conservative "carpetbagger" OR ANYONE ELSE.

So, seven-of-nine doesn't get all the credit.

Send to Megyn Kelly. She needs help in this area.

Chrissy Matthews actually asked a guest before the nomination if the fact that Obama was born in Kenya would effect his chances.

Before Obama was nominated, he was ubiquitous referred to as ‘Kenyan’ all over the world.

Even MONTH referred to Kenya as his homeland.

But now, searching on the internet, I can’t find any of the quotes.

Scrubbed

They were not exactly leaked, The Chicago Tribune had the records released under a FOIA, both Jack and Jeri Ryan objected to the release of the records.

Opps....well I guess The Governor of Hawaii and LTC Larkin prosecutors missed this little piece of evidence now didn't they? (Shrug)

[Krankor]

Actually we have Blair Hull’s ex-wife to blame. Or Blair himself, depending on who you believe. Who is Blair Hull. He’s the multi-millionaire who spent 28 million bucks of his own money to run in the Illinois Democratic primary in 2004. He was enjoying a substantial lead over the little known Barack Obama and other candidates until 3 weeks before the election. It was then learned his ex-wife claimed he physically and mentally abused her. His numbers plummeted and Obama won. The rest is history

[GoCards]

Really? OMG

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Not leaked, court ordered unsealed...”in the voting public’s interest.”
