    Wasn't Obama's address in Philly supposed to put an end to this? Instead, Wright has put an end to Obama.

  • Is Glennski gone yet?

    that maybe people were attacking you not because you're a black man but because you're an asshole?

    Wright is doing fine all on his own. Talk about chickens coming home to roost!

    are posturing white boys who feel all big when they denounce racists. You are so damn obvious, it's sad really.

    and they're using it to slag Obama. Must feel good, huh? Enjoy! I know I am.

  • It's not over because you say it's over, dsigeorge

    It's only over when the MSM has gotten tired of drinking Obama's flowing blood. Their appetite still seems pretty hearty this morning.

  • The Obama spell has been broken

    [Read the article: What should Obama do about Rev. Jeremiah Wright?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    for the mainstream media at least. They're now treating him with the same casual savagery that they reserve for mendacious politicians like Hillary Clinton. It's about time, too.

  • Reality-based Liberal--LMAO

    [Read the article: When did Obama start running for president?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    You're stuck in the bipolar mindset--if I hate Obama, I must love Clinton. But NO! I just hate Obama, and anything that assists in his downfall is sweet to me. My bff today is Reverend Wright. I wish I could give him his own TV show on MSNBC!

  • uncle ovipositor, maybe his rotten toenails is why he's "stinky"

    As proven by AJCalhoun's invocation of Tuskeegee. These are Obama's best friends--they're going to make him seem like a nitwit to mainstream Americans. No wonder he's going on Fox trying to distance himself from these loonies.

  • Obama just threw Wright under the bus

    [Read the article: What should Obama do about Rev. Jeremiah Wright?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    and Wright is such an egomaniac that he won't take that sitting down. This is going to get even uglier! Hooray!

    [Read the article: Obama "outraged" by Wright]

    He only speaks out against Wright's racism when it threatens his candidacy. Otherwise, as Wright himself implied, he's fine with it. Sad, but typical of a slimy pol.

  • Yehlaina, you are misguided, I am not for Clinton

    I am for McCain, who after this Wright fiasco is going to feast on Obama's liver with great relish in the general. It's fabulous to see!

    made me amazed how liberal Dems could be so clueless as to select such a shallow, unformed character as their candidate. Then, I remembered Mike Dukakis.

    The egomaniac Wright has just been directly insulted by Obama. I predict he'll be on every show that will have him for the next week explaining what a cynical politician Obama is.

    Barack Obama is suffering a serious erosion in his support among white working class Dem primary voters, the new Pew Research poll finds.

    A month ago, Hillary held a 50%-40% advantage among white Democratic voters with a high school degree or less. Today, after the Pennsylvania result and the latest flare-up by Jeremiah Wright, it's a 65%-25% win for Hillary among this same group.

    Among white Dems making less than $50,000 per year, Hillary leads 58%-34%, up from a 47%-45% lead a month ago.

    Pew still has Obama ahead in a statistical dead heat with a 47%-45% lead, but that's down from his 49%-39% lead last month. (Sample size: 651 Democratic voters and Dem-leaners. Margin of error: ±4.5%)

  • KcM, it is YOU who are clueless

    I am DELIGHTED that Obama will be the Dem candidate given how he's now poison for white working class voters, who will race to McCain. It is GLORIOUS news! Let's hope the Dems don't get some sense and give the nomination to Clinton!

  • By the way, YOU should post the rest too

    "This runs counter to earlier polls from Fox News and the Associated Press, which showed Hillary doing better than Obama against McCain among independents."

    The poll you're hanging your hat on is an outlier. Obama is DONE. Wright has crucified him. HOORAY!

  • More great polling news, just for KcM

    On the first day of the survey, Clinton held a 2 percent lead -- 45 percent to 43 percent, despite a 20-point lead for Obama among male respondents. Each day, more respondents supported Clinton.

    By the last day of polling, Clinton took 4 percent lead among men -- 45 percent to 41 percent -- representing a staggering 24-point swing.

    Over the four days in which the survey was conducted, the controversy involving the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Obama's former pastor, swelled.

    "In that window, he dominated all the political news in the presidential race," said Jeff Lewis, TeleResearch CEO. "In that period of time, Obama's lead among men went from a 20 point lead on Friday ... to a four point lead for Sen. Clinton."

    Better get him ready to run against McCain given how Hillary and Obama are bloodying each other up. Neither may be left standing soon. It's really priceless. Only the Dems could figure out how to screw up this election, but they have, they have...
