John: I think the question about the FBI vetting Obama for a senatorial question would be fairly simple to answer. I’ll go Google this and find out what the situation is.
I hear you as far as the lawsuit being filed, and, yes, I’m hard pressed to imagine why someone of this stature would file a frivolous lawsuit in Federal court, but that doesn’t preclude it from happening. This is pretty high-stakes poker being played right now, and I don’t put it past the Clintons to use someone as a stalking horse to try and throw a wrench in the machine right now.
If I were a member of the RNC, I would be all over this in a New York minute, and for the reason that it goes to the very heart of electability and “the rules”. If Obama were ineligible, and the RNC was aware of it, they would look completely reasonable “outing” Obama. Wouldn’t you agree?
