Democratic political guru James Carville predicts the Democratic Party currently disgraced by the venal behavior of Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich will suffer a series of embarrassing scandals in 2009.
Carville, who ran Bill Clintons successful presidential campaign in 1992, said the reason is based on simple math: More Democrats in elected office increases the likelihood of scandal.
I firmly believe that there are streaks, and that political scandals happen in clusters, Carville said, in a posting on CNN.com.
There are several burgeoning scandals right now in Democratic circles:
* Blagojevich is accused by federal prosecutors of conspiring to sell Barack Hussein Obama Jr.s former Senate seat to the highest bidder.
* Former low-rated talk show host Al Franken is being accused of stealing an election with the help of Obamas ACORN organization in Minnesota.
* Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.) is alleged to have not paid his taxes.
* Former Rep. Rahm Emanuel, Obamas White House chief of staff, is accused of shenanigans regarding his property taxes in Chicago.
* Obama himself was alleged in the U.K. press to have had an ongoing affair, which, just like the John Edwards scandal, has not yet been covered by the U.S. media.

Maybe it’s the woman he was dropped off with at a hotel in DC? I think she went to the islands. Her name was all over FReep...
None of scandals will touch BO because he never leaves a paper trail.
Don’t you love the way he placing democratic scandals in a box labeled “doesn’t mean a thing, ya hear”.
