Tuesday: What is it called when you discount someone who is a qualified candidate simply because you dont like the guy who nominated him?
BTW, I think this guy bloggo, or whatever his name is, is not going to be found guilty. In politics there are always some form of payment for everything. It doesnt have to be money, it can be clout or even a meeting can be considered "payment" of a kind.
When you are considering an appointment among many qualified people, its part of normal politics to get something in return for it... you pat my back I pat your back, who can pat your back the best?
But it doesnt mean that he waqs actually going to accept cash money from the highest bidder and give them the nomination?
Anyway, I hope the FBI has him actually accepting a true bribe and acting upon it, or else it is all circumstantial conjecture, and if they dont have him red handed taking bribe money, then I think it will just be another bad example of politics as usual!
Czuch:i don't know, they already had him under investigation for other stuff, now everyone has abandoned him,His party shuns him like he has leprosy, the media has him guilty and the feds want him bad enough, then he's going down , fair or not.
