I guess I was too circumspect.

What's the evidential and rational basis for your conclusion?

Additionally, I've been told that Raines has not served as an advisor to the Obama campaign.

Can you cite a reliable source to the contrary?

A spokesman for Obama has said that he is not, however, the
New York Post
Washington post
Chicago Tribune
Wikepedia
national review say that he has been a consultant regarding financial and housing issues.
News meat reports of financial contributions
The Fact that Obama receive the 2nd most money ever (D Dodds was # 1)from Fannie Mae even though he had been in office less than 2 years.

Start putting the behaviors in line and they point to more than a reasonable doubt that He would be advising the campaign.

Wikipedia contradicts itself then.

The Washington Post has backed off and all but issued a retraction for reporting it as fact. (http://voices.washingtonpost.com/fact-checker/2008/09/obamas_fannie_mae_connection.html) (essentially, they state that they have no factual basis, only a passing remark by Raines to that effect).

I don't know about the others.

Seriously? More than a reasonable doubt?

Hell, if that's the standard, I have more than a reasonable doubt that McCain isn't in full control of his faculties anymore. Dude seems to think that Afghanistan shares a border with Iraq and that Spain is in Latin America.

Chicago Tribune does not seem to be reporting that Franklin Raines is an Obama advisor. Can you cite, please?

Ditto for New York Post.
