How Obama won Wisconsin

The Illinois senator did well with campus liberals, white men, crossover Republicans and independents, but he made inroads into Clinton's working-class base too.

    anon

    the site you gave me is Obama's page. I am not talking about the tax record or the actual records of the Illinois house I am talking about his records that he said "I didn't keep" "I didn't have enough storage for all of those records" He also said that his memory of Rezko was 5 hours of legal work he did for a non-profit who was working with Rezko. now he says that he took Rezko to look at the house he owns in chicago suburb, before he bought it, and the seller only agreed to sell it to him if they closed on the house and the lot next to it"the one Rezko bought" at the same time. Why would an intelligent person ask a person that he had no personal contact with to advise him on the purchase of a house, expecially when that person was under investigation. In the state of Illinois we have Realtors that represent sellers and those that represent buyers and a buyers rep could have given him very good advice as to the value of the property he was interested in without asking for anything but a commission in return.
