1. It is over. Barack Obama is officially unelectable in a general election

[golddigger]

6. Yep, I concur...but the Obamanites don't see it. They don't understand

the heartland will not vote for a man who's mentor has said, "God damn America." I live in a cull-de-sac and we had a block party last nite and this was the talk of the party. He's toast!

3. Let them fight about this -

the truth is, this story has legs.

Obama is done.

4. My fave post is that HRC should be cleaning up after OB's mess

with Wright. The sexism on DU is stunning. :eyes:

9. My response: 'New politics' = same as 'old politics'. See final paragraphs:

Political pundits have suggested that Obama's problems with Wright are not ones based on faith, but pure politics. The upstart presidential candidate needs to pull most of the black vote to have any chance of snagging the Democratic nomination. Obama's ties to Wright and the activist African American church helps in that effort.

But the same experts same those same ties may come to haunt him if he were to win the nomination and face a Republican in the general election.

The worry is not lost on Wright.

"If Barack gets past the primary, he might have to publicly distance himself from me," Wright told The New York Times with a shrug. "I said it to Barack personally, and he said 'yeah, that might have to happen.'"

So much for the pure-as-driven-snow, innocent crusader, St Obama. Anything for political expediency - get the black votes via J Wright, but don't seem to be too close to his spiritual advisor/mentor. Just like those 'Present' votes at the IL Legislature. Just like the NAFTA remarks - Canadians shouldn't pay attention to what he said - it was just political rhetoric.
