Obama played hardball in first Chicago campaign - CNNIn his first race for office, seeking a state Senate seat on Chicago's gritty South Side in 1996, Obama effectively used election rules to eliminate his Democratic competition.
As a community organizer, he had helped register thousands of voters. But when it came time to run for office, he employed Chicago rules to invalidate the voting petition signatures of three of his challengers.
The move denied each of them, including incumbent Alice Palmer, a longtime Chicago activist, a place on the ballot. It cleared the way for Obama to run unopposed on the Democratic ticket in a heavily Democrat district.
what world do you guys live in where front runners don't merit more media attention and scrutiny than the 'also rans'?

No one cared about Cain until he was seen as a threat to Obama.
All sorts of stuff will be flying as we get closer to election day.
This might be the nastiest election we have ever had.

he wasn't relevant at 8%... now he has to answer questions.
your point?
I don't think the smear campaign will work - may backfire in fact.
None of this is new stuff.
Like the cheap trick media stunt about Bush ancient 1970s DUI days before the election.
Bush had a COMFY 7 point lead over Gore which turned into a nailbiter.
