Do you think this will have any impact whatsoever on either the Democratic primary or general election?
Obama, Clinton Campaign advisers tied to lending crisis
By Ken Dilanian, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON — On the campaign trail, Democrats Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama have proposed cracking down on the predatory lending that they say helped fuel the foreclosure crisis.
Both presidential candidates, however, rely on close advisers who had oversight roles at financial institutions that went bust because of subprime loans.
Clinton’s campaign manager, Maggie Williams, earned at least $175,000 serving from 2000-07 on the board of Long Island-based Delta Financial, which filed for bankruptcy last year after a history of high-cost loans to low-income borrowers, according to public records.
Obama’s national finance chairwoman, Penny Pritzker, was chairwoman of the board of a Chicago-area bank in 1993 when it adopted a subprime business strategy that regulators say ultimately led it to collapse in 2001.

It definitely won’t have an effect on the primaries because well, they are the only 2 left on the democrats ballot, so it is going to be one of them regardless.
Secondly I don’t think it will have an effect on the general election because 1. it won’t be hyped up in the media. And 2 most Voters in America are mindless Baboons. Not to sound degrading as I am an American Voter as well. but A lot of people vote for a candidate for the wrong reasons. Clinton Because she is a female (or at Least I assume I cannot speak from Personal Experience) and others Vote for O’bama because he is African-American. Now are these the only reasons people are voting for these two? No but (and especially in Clinton’s case) look at the demographics of voters in the states that Clinton won. Middle aged women make up the majority..
I am a registered Democrat, and I am not looking forward to the day of Kentucky primaries.
The advisor’s ties to the bankrupt lending companies is not the first time dirt has ever surfaced during elections. Unless the dirt pertains to a break in Federal Law or a Lack of family values, the election will most likely be untouched by events such as this.
