This is exactly why I said on another thread that I am ready to vote this kind of stuff isenough to make you  |
Obama is rough and tumble for sure....I am digging out some of the stuff I found in 2008 and all I have now is this...very general an article that is actually pretty friendly to Obama...this from the CHicago Tribune archives..
I would like to add that this is easy and peaceful in comparison to others...
"in 1996 at age 34, he ran for the state Senate in a messy drama that is little known outside of Chicago. Alice Palmer, the incumbent, planned to run for Congress and supported Obama as her successor. But after Palmer's congressional campaign hit some trouble, she decided to run for re-election to the Illinois Senate after all. Obama refused to step aside and found himself in a battle for survival. One of his volunteers challenged the legality of Palmer's nominating petitions, as well as the petitions of other candidates; Palmer dropped out, and the other candidates were disqualified. Obama won unopposed in the Democratic primary—guaranteeing victory in the general election. "The whole episode showed that Obama was an extraordinarily ambitious young man willing to do whatever it took to advance not only his agenda of community empowerment but his own political career," wrote Mendell in Obama: From Promise to Power. Adds a current adviser: "Some say it was coldhearted, but it shows that if he has to pull the trigger, he will."
