Quote:No, I already said I don't want an opinion article. Just a factual rundown of the events.There is no such thing anymore, not even on Wikipedia. What you read is flavored by someone's opinion, even if it is just sweetened or soured enough to put a slight spin on it.
The facts are simple, Obama's campaign volunteer aids (Acorn activists mostly) sifted through all of his democratic challengers petition signatures until only Obama was left on the ballot. On election day, there was one name on the ballot. That is democracy for you.
There was no republican challenger that year (some other Chicago scandal late in their campaign).
