The White House — at 6:30 this morning — released a statement on the revelations from Colorado U.S. Senate candidate Andrew Romanoff. Romanoff is the second candidate in the Jobsgate Sestak Affair to have been offered a job in the Obama Administration if he withdrew his candidacy.
Defensive in nature, the White House insisted there was nothing wrong.
The question that shrieks here is why it has been silent on this since February. Obviously, there is much more to come and Congressman Issa is on the case.
Stay tuned.

When Lyndon Johnson stole the Democratic Senatorial nomination in 1948 from Coke Stevenson- a decent, scrupulously honest and very popular former governor - his catspaw in Washington, Abe Fortas, was able to stop Stevenson's legal challenge by arguing to the Supreme Court that a party's primary is not a federal election, and therefore not subject to federal oversight. If the Democratic party wants to select candidates through fraudulent or stolen election, bribes or promises, what of it?
For the record, that Johnson stole the primary is not in doubt - even he admitted it. Hundreds of votes supposedly cast for him in the last five minutes before the polls closed, and in alphabetical order.

Well, Paul, it really doesn't matter. They are all Democrats. Democrats never break laws, didn't ya know that? And if they do, so what. They are on a much more important mission - namely socializing America - that even if they break some laws in the process (even laws Democrats sign into law), they are to be forgiven and praise be bestowed upon them for ignoring unjust laws.
I thought we were all in agreement on this, people! Now lets get it together and start REALLY ignoring this story!

If the truth were really known, my guess is that Sestak was not offered Secretary of the Navy, but SECRETARY OF DEFENSE. Remember, Gates was only supposed to be at SECDEF for one year! that year was up, about the time the Sestak offer was made. Think about it.
As to Romanoff, hey, the sky's the limit when it come to Obama and his thugs. No telling what they really "dangled" in front of his hungry eyes.

At least Romanoff has the right name to be one of Obama's czars.
