Romney looks good making a big deal out of distancing himself from this but one has to wonder if Mitt is going to give Obama a pass on just about everything except the economy. This is hardball presidential politics and while the economy is certainly a major issue and the one to focus on, Romney better be prepared to be beaten up pretty good by Obama surrogates and if his Mormon religion comes into play, as it probably will, he may have to rethink his stand of keeping Obama's association with the radical reverend off the table.
“if it didn’t resonate with voters in 2008 and the media tried to smother the story (but couldn’t), it has little chance of impacting anyone’s vote now, 4 years later.”
I’m not saying it’ll work, but one of the major reasons it didn’t resonate is that McCain deliberately ran the other way from it. Surely the MSM couldn’t keep the names Ayers and Wright out of everyone’s mouths, especially on talk radio and the internet which they cannot yet monopolize.
But it’s not as if just because you heard of them by the second on FR that they were household names. I’m sure Joe American Idol and Jane Dancing with the Stars can’t tell them apart from John Boehner or Joe Biden. And who can blame them, instead of me for fiddling while Washington burns? Politics is really, really, really boring.
Watch Hannity tonight and listen to the interview with wright and get back to me on your thoughts.
