If there were any legs to all of this the Clinton’s would have been all over it like white on rice during the primary and Hilary would be the nominee. There is no way that ruthless politicians with legal teams and opposition researchers as good as their’s would fail to jump on this particularly when the rumors were already out there.
With all due respect to Her Thighness, she seems to have run a pretty shoddy campaign in many respects -- dirty tricks being one of them.
It was neither the Hillary campaign nor "deniable" minions that exposed Rev. Wright, or William Ayers, or to Frank Marshall Davis, or ties to Muslim terrorists, etc.
To date, neither side has exposed Obama's ties to Shepard Fairey.
So much for Hillary's "researchers" and "strong arm" tactics.
I also believe that -- even up to the last minute -- Hillary hoped that if she could just persuade a few super delegates to win the top slot, she would choose BHO as her running mate. Hence she wanted to defeat him, but not knock him off the field.
