Stunning stuff from The Washington Post‘s Shailagh Murray:
There isn’t a reasonable person around who thinks this scandal will taint Obama in any meaningful way, but at the very least, it reminds people of the political world from whence he came. This story could be a useful preamble to something bigger down the road.
So even though the scandal doesn’t taint Obama, it taints him anyway because it taints all 12.8 million people who live in Illinois?
