The Hillbuzz blog — which has gained a wide readership since the 2008 elections — is written by a group of gay men in Chicago who were, indeed, big Hillary supporters.
They’re still very angry at the Obama campaign for dirty tricks that they claim denied Hillary the nomination.
As a result, they defected from the Democratic Party and worked actively for the GOP in 2008 and are now pushing Palin for 2012, saying that the Democratic Party they once supported is no more. They’ve said that, even should Hillary run in 2012, they won’t support her.
They are well-connected in Chicago politics, both GOP and Dems. They’ve been dropping hints about this scandal for a while now, just today posting details.
Take it seriously.
I think they’re right that it best get aired now so the dust can settle before November.
I often disagree with the Hillbuzz take on things, but find them always well-informed.
Indeed. I haven't heard of any rapes in politics in WI, but the infighting, backstabbing, and jockeying for position is prototypical Wisconsin Republican politics.
We had a guy here who really screwed up our County in 2004. They've brought him back to run campaigns in 2006, 2008, and now in 2010 because somebody thinks he's just wonderful. I think he's in charge of the whole state now.
That is why my husband and I won't have anything to do with the campaign in 2010. We'll help in other ways, but we won't work with this particular person, and neither will any of our friends. We found him lazy, incompetent, disrespectful of volunteers, actually brought in a spy, etc., etc. Now he's in charge of it all.
There is nothing you can say that is ever believed.
