If we just stay on this horrific coverup, we can keep O on the defensive.
This isn't a good thing for Obama, but it's one he can get around. He'll use the Bush defense of 'bad info', and stick to it, and eventually ABCNBCCBS will agree. After all, don't all Presidents lie about foreign affairs?
However, if Donorgate had been addressed, there was the possibility that the Obama campaign would have had to better validate credit cards, and it might have limited the possibility of foreign donations and greatly limited the money he got. That would have hurt.
But, we knew all that back in 2008 and the Republicans have done nothing with it. Limiting his money, proving that he was cheating with foreign backing should have been labeled as traitorous activity. If we could limit the money flow, we could limit his defense to other issues.
Not addressing this issue is strongly suggestive that the Republicans are either complicit, or too stupid or too cowardly to win.
