Left out of the narrative is that Obama and his Chicago henchman, David Axelrod, underhandedly opened the divorce records of the opponent (divorce records are legally sealed).
Very damaging info came out and finished off the opponent leaving the election free and clear for Obama.
The story has been repeated dozens of times.....that you've never heard of it is very curious.
Not sure why I never heard of this even after he was the president. By the time I heard of Obama he was already a virus, not a person running for a senate seat. I didn’t hear of him till much later.
