Telling you that Rev Wright is one crazy nutjob. Came out today on Bill Moyer show and said stuff that hurts Obama even more. This gives Obama a right to disown him completely. If Obama doesn't take this chance, he's a fool and he will lose.

      - Most AA pastors and churchgoers disagree with RW. They do and they are embarrassed by having to defend him.

        But they have, and they will, especiallyif it is against the media. They already have defended him when the story originally broke. Even if the disagree with him, they would not approve of Obama disowning a man who has mentored him and stood by him as a spiritual advisor for the last 20 years. It would not be good for him

        I don't know. But I think he will still get vast majority of AA votes, whether other pastors like that or not and I don't think pastors will sway votes that much at this point. Obama has to think about winning over lunchbucket whites now.

  - Unfortunately, I don't think so. He was very defensive and seemed to imply Obama is only distancing himself bec he's a politician even though he really believes in him.

        no, obama defended wright, not condemned him. If he's serious about winning the general, he really does have to distance himself A LOT more. I think he will lose if he doesn't.

Greatest regret? Anyone?

I don't know. But I think he will still get vast majority of AA votes, whether other pastors like that or not and I don't think pastors will sway votes that much at this point. Obama has to think about winning over lunchbucket whites now.

ITD.
