I was actually wondering whether he’s letting race trump ideology in this case.
I do recally, however, that when JC quit it was rumored that the party elites thought he was somehow not up to par.
I think race may be a factor. Who knows who he hangs with now (I kid I kid). I think part of the Rev. Wright thing for JC hinges on his own personal religious life. He is a really religious fellow and is probably uncomfortable with coming between “a pastor and a follower” as he’s said several times too.
He seems hostile towards John McCain though. One interview, Hannity was attempting to get JC to defend McCain, and he really seemed indifferent, almost saying, Let McCain defend himself. Seems like some underlying “issues” there.
