Yes Wright's sermons are abominable! The Republicans could have easily tied him to Obama after he got the nomination and McCain could have carried 45-48 states leaving Obama the District of Columbia and at the most five other states.
This is the reason we should have done everything we could to defeat Clinton in Texas and elsewhere. Between Obama, Obama’s wife, and Wright we could have seen a resurgence of the Republican party and to some extent the conservative movement.
Obama may be damaged goods by the time of the Democratic convention and delegates will unify around Clinton who goes on to win in November.

Obama will most likely still have more normal delegates than Hillary when the Dem convention begins. The super delegates will have to take it away from Obama.

I disagree with you. McCain will beat both of these guys in November.

The Republicans??? The Republicans would run and hide under the bed.

From ABC News on February 13th:

ABC News' Teddy Davis Reports: On Wednesday, a top adviser to John McCain said more definitively than he has in the past that he will step down from the Arizona senator's presidential campaign if the presumed GOP nominee faces Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., in the general election.

"I would simply be uncomfortable being in a campaign that would be inevitably attacking Barack Obama," said McCain adviser Mark McKinnon in an interview with NPR's "All Things Considered." "I think it would be uncomfortable for me, and I think it would be bad for the McCain campaign."

Between Sean Hannity and Rush, with friends like these, who needs enemies?

Clinton is still behind in delegates by 100 delegates.

But you are right, we should not risk a Clinton nomination at this time by boosting her chances through any Republican subterfuge or support. The main benefit to Republicans is to get Hillary to raise these issues, for the media wont play once its Saint barack vs Evil Republicans.

But take it too far and the point is lost.
