What does this say about John O'Bannon? There seem to be two main possibilities: 1) he was completely oblivious and clueless to what's going on with his fellow Republican delegates, even a major ethics scandal reported in the Virginian-Pilot and other major newspapers; or 2) he was aware of the scandal but didn't think there was anything wrong with it.Well, now O'Bannon has donated another $1,000 to Hamilton (at the beginning of September). Obviously, at this point, O'Bannon can't still be "completely oblivious and clueless" about Hamilton's legal/ethical difficulties, not to mention the fact that just about everyone - with the notable exception of Ken Cuccinelli - has asked that Hamilton resign. Which brings us to the second possibility, now a high probability, that O'Bannon simply sees absolutely nothing wrong with Hamilton's corrupt behavior. That really says it all about John O'Bannon, and pretty much makes the argument for Tom Shields an open-and-shut case.
