While CP certainly knows more about politics than I do (and follows them much more closely than I ever will), I see either Hillary or Obama (Senator from Ohio, IIRC)
1. Nod to the "opposing factions" notion.

2. Obama is from Illinois, Chicago in fact, and I have just recently learned that he has mob ties. Of course, every politician from Illinois is fundamentally corrupt. Our former governer is going to jail, our current governor will probably be prosecuted when his term ends (though we just did re-elect him). I never in all my years have seen a place so corrupt. My wife's a prosecutor -- I get pulled over, I tell the cop, he lets me go. It's the system here. Mostly socialist and 100% corrupt as all hell.

So, we'll see how Mr. African-American Poster-Boy Obama does, but I'm here to tell you, he's diiiiirty.
