The Attorney General smelled something was wrong up in Harlem and intervened with a law suit.

Here are some insights.

Please note especially the third paragraph...The announcement was not
enough......until the Congress man has actually vacated the chairman's post.

Charlie was trying some foot work but Spitzer was insistent.

Like I said earlier, I've already read several articles in the NY Times today (including this one) Don. Still no proof that Rangel profited from the Apollo chairmanship.

Did Charlie rough you up and steal your lunch money back in the 60's?

Keep on sniffin' my friend.

This would be the equivalent of a pro-lifer calling a doctor in a women's clinic a murderer, even though we don't actually have a murder conviction. When Charlie is indicted maybe we'll revisit this thief thing.

It appears I was wrong. It looks like Rangel wins.

It nearly always appears that way from my vantage point.

Fascinatin'! We got 4 pages of in depth discussion of what it all means when Charlie Rangel is gonna loose his Congressional seat. Then...in the light of a beautiful summer morning, it turns out that Charlie is headed right back to that seat...and the silence is deafening.

What's it all about, eh? Maybe the Hokey-Pokey is what it's all about.

It always has been, at least since 1872.

And the teaparty lost in the south, oh the wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Rep. Charles Rangel has slim lead in primary

Last Updated Jun 25, 2014 5:45 AM EDT
NEW YORK - Rep. Charles Rangel, the face of Harlem politics for generations, declared victory in a fierce primary fight to return to the House of Representatives, but with ballots outstanding, the race was deemed too close to call.

With 99 percent of the vote counted in unofficial results early Wednesday, Rangel led state Sen. Adriano Espaillat, 47.4 percent to 43.7 percent. There was a difference of fewer than 2,000 votes out of about 47,000 votes cast.

The Associated Press was not declaring a winner because the city Board of Elections was unable to say how many absentee and affidavit ballots were outstanding. The counting of those paper ballots can take up to two weeks, beginning later Wednesday.
