I hope that some head's roll for this one and I hope that Obama is VERY careful to investigate the security measures that are taken at all his venues. More from the Obama article:

This will flux over time, but my guess is that the Obama McCain spread will get larger as McShame sets in with the voters over his links (staff and other) to lobbyists, and as Sen. Clinton fades.
