Yes, but the thing about the story that impresses me the most is that Barrack Obama, his Democratic opponent, has had absolutely nothing to say about the scandal, replying that he thinks people should be more interested in what he has to say about the issues. It's so refreshing in Chicago to have a candidate who isn't a political hack and seems to be concerned with getting into office the right way and for the right reasons.

Absolutely. I've met them both, and Barack is a genuine guy who probably actually feels that way.
A cynic might add, though, that any political handler worth his salt knows the basic mantra... when your opponent is blowing himself or herself up, get your candidate out of the way. No need to add to it or you might come off badly yourself.
