As you say, "Doesn't mean John or Cindy themselves were involved." But, while you admit that you are unable to attribute any connection to organized crime to either the candidate or his spouse, you still will post this drivel.

What you are engaged in is generally referred to as "the politics of personal destruction," a phrase used by Hillary Clinton to describe the attacks on her husband while he was President. It is an attempt to smear the candidate without actually being able to produce any evidence of wrongdoing on his part.

I began this primary campaign as a supporter of John Edwards. When he abandoned the race, I switched to Sen. Obama, primarily because he showed promise of leaving this "old politics" behind and campaigning on the real issues facing our nation and our people. Perhaps he will be able to change the way things are done, but your submission shows how pervasive the old ways have become.
