Senior advisers think John McCain should attack Barack Obama's ties to his former pastor. He won't.
McCain has refused to do it. The main reason, according to two aides who did not want to be named discussing private conversations with the candidate: any attack could be viewed as racially insensitive—or stir up racist sentiments—and that gets personal for McCain. He has not forgotten the racial smear directed at his own family during the South Carolina primary in 2000, when he ran against George W. Bush. Back then, supporters of Bush (their precise identities were never known) papered cars outside churches and McCain events with nasty fliers. They suggested his adopted daughter, Bridget—who was then just eight years old—was in fact his illegitimate child by a black prostitute. The McCains were sickened about the impact this might have on Bridget and planned to wait until she was much older to tell her about it.

I say bring out wright ASAP!........we need firepower..run the ads in PA 24/7 and run the quote from Obama about how people cling to their guns and religion......!!!
Do you think America would have a right to know if the Republican candidate for POTUS attended a racist, anti-American church for 20 years where the Pastor blamed the American Government for introducing the HIV into Ireland?
He won’t do it because of Colin Powell.
Right now Mccain needs to continue hitting on the tax issue - spreading the wealth = socialism. That is the message that is resonating...
Plungers, Pitbulls, Hockey Moms, and Lipstick unite!!!!
absolutely, we need to light the fire one more time to remind the nation ...right before they enter the booth
yea and if Powell stabs him in the back tomorrow....i say anything is fair game now.
Our Country deserves better is doing it, we all know Rev Wright, McCain can win this election by talking free market economics. McCain needs to talk about freedom and low taxes.
Will he? We shall see.
Anyone who doesnt know about Wright, or hasnt heard his rants must be living in a cave.
The 527s should hit it hard, but I dont think mccain will change his mind about it now.
He might do it after the hit piece on his wife Cindy.
He’s a fool if he’s afraid of the “Racism” charge! A fool!
gosh, senator mccain is so nicely senatorial
that he couldn’t bring himself to mention the rev. wright.
/s
Knowing about and seeing with ones own two eyes are different things. Wright is a legitimate issue and McCain does himself and America a disservice by being complicit in hiding Obamas roots.
ABSOLUTELY - NO TIME TO SPARE. EXPOSE HIM!
If Colin the rhino traitor Powell endorsed The Obama One tommorow , the I would run the wright ads. it can’t hurt.
also , dems are great at having a 4 day before election day oct surprise. 92 it was the indictment and 00 it was the dui.
Stay a way from the nutty preacher. Low grade ore. No gain versus the fake outrage it will cause. There is plenty on the table .
Let the 527’s do it. If anyone can show me a 527 who will run Wright ads consistently, I’ll send them $1,000, no questions asked.
Does a polar bear pee on ice?
Does a one-legged duck swim in a circle?
