Rev Wright Flap Hasn't Hurt Obama.................

Democrats Are Tied in New Poll

"WASHINGTON -- The racially charged debate over Barack Obama's relationship with his longtime pastor hasn't much changed his close contest against Hillary Clinton, or hurt him against Republican nominee-in-waiting John McCain, according to a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll.

Democratic pollster Peter Hart, who conducts the Journal/NBC polls with Republican pollster Bill McInturff, called the latest poll a "myth-buster" that showed the pastor controversy is "not the beginning of the end for the Obama campaign."

This poll is worthless! If you read the MSNBC article about the poll, it clearly states that they purposefully oversampled blacks to get more answers to poll questions dealing with black churches in general, so it's no surprise that Obama did very well in it.

Similar to the reaction to the Obama Speech. Every news program that I watched seemed only to ask blacks what their reaction to it was,. What else were they expecting but universal praise ?

I find it difficult to believe that the Dems and the news media are supporting a man that has endorsed such crackpot ideas.

Unless you're privvy to some info that no one else is, Obama has repeatedly says he does not approve of or endorse Wright's comments in 2007.

His single claim to fame is his "judgment" in not supporting the war in Iraq before it was popular to not support the war. What is at question now is his "judgment" of not speaking out against Rev Wright's message in 2005-2007 before it was politically important for him to speak out. He didn't speak out and we are forced to question his "judgment." Simple problem, easy solution, wrong answer, he fails the test.
