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.
“It’s clear to me that a vigorous debate on the issues most likely could not take place if I remain in the race,” Ryan, 44, said in a statement. “What would take place, rather, is a brutal, scorched-earth campaign - the kind of campaign that has turned off so many voters, the kind of politics I refuse to play.”
Although Ryan disputed the allegations, saying he and his wife went to one ‘avant-garde’ club in Paris and left because they felt uncomfortable, lashed out at the media and said it was “truly outrageous” that the Chicago Tribune got a judge to unseal the records.
The Republican choice will become an instant underdog in the campaign for the seat of retiring Republican Senator Peter Fitzgerald, since Obama held a wide lead even before the scandal broke.
“I feel for him actually,” Obama told a Chicago TV station. “What he’s gone through over the last three days I think is something you wouldn’t wish on anybody.”
The Republican state committee must now choose a replacement for Ryan, who

“I feel for him actually,” Obama told a Chicago TV station. “What he’s gone through over the last three days I think is something you wouldn’t wish on anybody.”
This should have set off flags.
“Speculation is that this is an African Press story not Associated Press”
Funny that someone felt so sure about that as to add the keyword ‘notassociatedpress’. Either they have information that we all don’t (in which case why not post their comments right here), or they just want to push the idea regardless of the facts
Debunked in this thread...........
Bing’s not ready for primetime. Ordinary searches can turn up seriously nasty stuff.
Everyone knows he is Kenyan born. The AP slipped up, good find!
He is a traitor and I AM SICK TO DEATH of being labeled a BIRTHER nutcase by the media for being concerned that he is not a legit POTUS because he was not born in the U.S.
WHY was a man related to being a witness in PASSPORTGATE found dead?
TO THE MEDIA: Report this, then dare to label me a birther nut.
A key witness in a federal probe into passport information stolen from the State Department was fatally shot in front of a District church, the Metropolitan Police Department said yesterday.
Lt. Quarles Harris Jr., 24, who had been cooperating with a federal investigators, was found late Thursday night slumped dead inside a car, in front of the Judah House Praise Baptist Church in Northeast, said Cmdr. Michael Anzallo, head of the department's Criminal Investigations Division.
Cmdr. Anzallo said a police officer was patrolling the neighborhood when gunshots were heard, then Lt. Harris was found dead inside the vehicle, which investigators would describe only as a blue car.
Emergency medics pronounced him dead at the scene.
City police said they do not know whether his death was a direct result of his cooperation with federal investigators.
"We don't have any information right now that connects his murder to that case," Cmdr. Anzallo said.
Police say a "shot spotter" device helped an officer locate Lt. Harris.
A State Department spokeswoman yesterday declined to comment, saying the investigation into the passport fraud is ongoing.
The Washington Times reported April 5 that contractors for the State Department had improperly accessed passport information for presidential candidates Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton, Barack Obama and John McCain, which resulted in a series of firings that reached into the agency's top ranks.
One agency employee, who was not identified in documents filed in U.S. District Court, was implicated in a credit-card fraud scheme after Lt. Harris told federal authorities he obtained "passport information from a co-conspirator who works for the U.S. Department of State."
Someone hard copy this before it can’t be found anymore.
That hasn’t been true since, like June. But suit yourself - keep giving the search engine with a leftist agenda your business.
Has there been discussion of Bing’s nasty results elsewhere? Do you have a link? I was searching last month & there were links to nasty stuff - really nasty, about children - on a simple search for medicine. I didn’t know it was a well-known thing. I use famlisearch.com anyway now, not google.
Is there an AP writers name attached to it? Unreal. Maybe ORly can get this admitted to evidence if Carter does not throw the case out.
This very thing was reported in A KENYA NEWSPAPER.
It has been deleted.

What you found is the only trace of it. Maybe we can find cached copies?

It originated in a Kenya newspaper that was scrubbed/deleted.

I wish Drudge would get off his BALLOON BOY kick and onto REAL headlines.
Even if it comes to light that he’s a foreigner, nothing will happen for at least another 3 years except a lot more lying and dancing. He’ll claim he doesn’t know who he is or where he came from and nobody else does either, so shut up and pay your taxes. By then his presidency will be over.
Just how much damage will have been done to the country in the next couple years is the big question.
More like MMM MMM MMM
It is nonsense and has been posted over and over here. AP is not Associated press and the source has been thoroughly discredited. Moreover, even if it had been the real AP it wpould not constitute any sort of evidence whatsoever.
STOP PPOSTING THIS IDIOCY!@
It is nonsense
