Jeremiah Wright returns to the campaign via an ad that questions the Illinois senator's judgment.

The ad is brought to you by The National Republican Trust PAC that told reporters that it is putting $2.5 million behind this spot featuring Rev. Jeremiah Wright in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida

GIVE TO THEM AGAIN!

It is about time.

bump.

There is also this ad in Michigan

Yea!!!.......Memories!

Every little bit helps but I think the title "Redistributionist in Chief" is working better right now along with the McCain campaign doing the "Obama wants to spread your wealth" tour.......

Andrea Mitchell this morning said that this group has not bought any ad time yet. Of course, who knows how accurate that statement may be.

Well, they can’t cry racism on this one!

I was thinking on the way to work that the black community might see this election as a Mandela or Mugabe. I can see how a witless and uneducated person might believe that the President has more power than he has. That he might be able to rearrange society.

That’s going to lead to a great deal of tension.

I want to see this ad in VIRGINIA!

[Rummyfan]

Marking.

I don’t know if this would be as effective as before. The narrator’s speech is a bit to fast. And I agree, at this moment 0bama’s own words on spreading the wealth may be more effective.

At this point, this type of ad will not be effective. Rev. Wright is on the lower tier of what Americans care about. People already know all they want to know about it. They are beyond it. They are thinking about their 401(k).

McCain has to hammer home the economic slowdown and tie it to Dems. He has to create ads that reassure people he can do the job effectively. Reagan's final ad in 1980 did just that, and it is a good closer for the times we are in right now. People like McCain; he's a known quantity.

Obama has not closed the sale on himself at all. That 2001 audio was just one more in a narrative that casts doubts with uncommitted/independent voters. Polls are starting to reflect that. By Thursday or Friday, maybe the weekend, we will see most people make their final choice.

Vote. Bring 10+ people with you.

Notice how scared and terrified Obama and his media get when Wright is mentioned.

[SueRae]

about damn time.

I will NEVER get past this point. Obama lost ALL credibility as a candidate as soon as this clown entered the stage. THIS is where the racism is or at least, where it started in this campaign. The polarization has just gotten worse with the passing of time.

We have not forgotten Mr. wright (he has no credential as a minister in my mind). And its past time when people need to be reminded of just what these types are all about should they get in power.

it is in the link to the story

[jveritas]

This type of ad will be very effective. A presidential candidate who sat for 20 years in the church of an anti-America hateful black racist will not go well at all with most white voters. You must understand how terrified Obama is from being seen as the black candidate, let alone a black racist candidate. This is the issue that scares him the most.
