Clinton superdelegate in financial/tax trouble
California congresswoman Laura Richardson in some financial trouble. Rumors yesterday that her 2nd home had been foreclosed, which she died. Turned out it's already been repo'd and sold. Seems she's also heavily delinquent in property tax and utility bills. It seems she stopped paying the mortgage around the time she loaned herself money to fight for the congressional seat.

No comment on what it means, I know nothing about her as she's far away from my district. but it sounds like she might have an ethics violation on her hands. It's possible she could have to resign her seat, which is the only reason I post it here.

1. Come on, let's not headline it that way
I got annoyed when the Puerto Rico governor was indicted and the headlines made it seem like it had something to do with Obama just because the PR governor had endorsed him. Holding the candidates responsible for everything their superdelegates do is a little ridiculous, don't you think?

3. Clinton smears go on because that is the Obama way to unite the party
