News / Chicagoland Door no. 5
Posted by Whet Moser on Wed, Dec 10, 2008 at 10:56 AM
Fox News Chicago is reporting that Senate Candidate No. 5 is Jesse Jackson, Jr., which lines up with TPM's guess and that of our own Mick Dumke. Here's why candidate 5's identity is a big deal. Update: ABC News is reporting the same thing (via), and he responded with something of a non-denial.
Then again, FNC said Rahm leaked the Senate pay-for-play request, which he denies, so YMMV. Here's JJJr's statement.

There are only two people who were in contention who could raise that kind of money - JJ Jr and Luis Gutierrez. Either way, this is BIG.
It's certainly troubling, but the candidate himself was not implicated in the complaint. It is possible that Jackson (or whomever) had no knowledge that someone was wheeling and dealing illegally on his behalf.
