Here it comes!

"One DNC source is quoted in media reports as ominously saying that Dean's secret evidence on dealings by the Senator from Nevada makes "Jack Abramoff's lobbying work look like that of a rank amateur.""

[Emmett McCarthy]

The DNC has to decide whose throat they're gonna slit. Sweeeeet!

By the time the Dems get their act together (both financially and strategically) the Nov 06 elections will be over.

[Howlin]

I hope we get to see it, that's for sure.

It's hardly "secret evidence". The LA Times ran a HUGE piece on the kickbacks to Reid and how his whole family is in on it and corrupt. No one paid any attention to it.

CHAIRMAN HOWARD DEAN, MEET YOUR ABRAMOFF DEMOCRATS

Named by the NRSC as the worst examples of "Democrat hypocrisy" for taking money from Abramoff and his associates are:
Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), who received at least $68,941;
Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), who received at least $45,750;
Sen. Byron Dorgan, (D-N.D.) who received at least $79,300, and,
Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.), who received at least $6,250

ABRAMOFF'S DELAWARE DEMOCRAT CONNECTION: Keep in mind that the names of Delaware Sens Joe Biden (of Judiciary anti-Alito fame) and Tom Carper surfaced on lists of federal lawmakers who received money, from the ubiquitous super-lobbyist Jack Abramoff at the center of the largest ever public corruption involving Congress and its staff members.

In brief, Abramoff and his cronies, including his aide, former Rehoboth Beach, Del lifeguard Mike Scanlon, ripped off Indian tribes seeking federal gambling licenses by playing them off each other and charging both sides millions for legal services. Carper showed up on a list produced by the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics, which has so far tracked almost $4.5 million in contributions to some 240 lawmakers. Carper's staff found about $7,000 in campaign money linked to Abramoff, which the senator first thought he'd keep because he's never met Abramoff or his partners.

Biden received only $1,250 (that we know of), which was a straight-up individual campaign contribution. The Biden money came from one of 1,500 lawyers -- yes, that's one thousand five hundred, a scary number -- who work at Greenberg Traurig LLP, Abramoff's old law firm. G-T has offices in London, Amsterdam, Atlanta, Brussels, Chicago, New York, Zurich, Los Angeles. And, of course, Wilmington, Del.
