Suspicious Obama Donations - My Conspiracy theory...
Note, I have absolutely NOTHING to substantiate this theory other than my distrust of the Republican election campaign operatives.
After reading this newsweek article about suspicious donations to Obama's campaign in excess of legal limits the thought occurred to me that this might have been a shot in the dark dirty trick by an overzealous republican operative to create a controversy that could be used to attack Obama late in the campaign. Theoretically, anyone could have made the contributions so there's no reason why it couldn't be true.
Again, I have nothing to base this on other than my feeling that the Rovian element of the Republican side will stop at nothing to win, up to and including fraud to discredit the opposition.
I'm sure I'm not the only thinking such things...

So why did you post it?

Because it's a thought I had and I wanted to blog about it and share the thought with others. Not sure when the standard for blogging became the same as what used to be the standard for print journalism. I wanted to see what others thought about it. I'll make sure to send you an email asking your permission the next time I have something I want to blog about... But for the record, you don't have to read it if you don't want to!

Obama should call for the same of McCain's campaign. See how that goes down.
