Hugh Hewitt pointed out last night that there is reason for Hillary Rodham Clinton to stick around a while longer--it's the man whose wife used to who the lot for sale next to Barack Obama's home.But don't look for Hillary to bail, at least not until the final primaries are held and the Tony Rezko trial verdict in. (Final arguments begin Monday.) If Rezko walks, the chance of another devastating revelation about Obama goes down.
But if Rezko is convicted and is facing a long stretch in jail, won't he have to think long and hard about naming names in order to limit his years in federal prison? Clearly Rezko and Obama are close. That's a huge potential nightmare for the Dems, and Team Hillary won't be shy about underscoring the dangers of an unfolding scandal consuming Chicago politics.
Then there's the slowly spreading impact of Michelle Obama. The more voters hear her rhetoric, the less they are going to want her husband in the White House.

Rezko has a lot to think about, he'll have until Monday to figure out he no longer has any friends. Duffy could not put on one person that Rezko has had a relationship with, that wasn't corrupt. Tony Rezko is probably figuring out about now that Blagojevich and Obama are not his friends and we all know they are certianly not honest if they were wouldn't they have come to aid their dear freind in his time of need. It will make flipping on them a little easier, and when Rezko starts talking the feds better bring extra tape and batteries for their recorders because he is going to have a lot to say.
