Developer dishes dirt - AP article about Antoin (Tony) Rezko
http://www.winnipegsun.com/News/World/2008/10/14/7073431-sun.html

By MIKE ROBINSON, THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Rezko also was friendly with Obama -- offering him a job when he finished law school, funding his earliest political campaigns and purchasing a lot next to his house.

But based on the known facts, charges so far and testimony at Rezko's trial, there's no indication there'll be a so-called "October surprise" that could hurt the Democratic presidential nominee -- even though Rezko says prosecutors are pressing him for dirt about Obama.

"I think this strikes fear into the Blagojevich administration and the statehouse Democrats but not into the Obama campaign," says Republican state Senator Kirk Dillard, a John McCain delegate to the GOP convention but an old friend of Obama.

1. Obama held a 3-hour presser with the Chicago newspapers
when the Clinton campaign hit him with this during the primaries. If the McCain campaign starts to make a stink, Obama can slap them right back with this.
