This is why I support the man

The delivery wasn't the best - I might be the one Obama supporter who doesn't think he's always a good speaker - but the text, well the text is what I would have written if Obama asked me to. Will it work? Who knows these days? It sure has a good shot though.

Ultimately, the initial reactions on CNN and MSNBC show that he might benefit from the same thing that caused him to go down. The press get bored with a story and a reversal gives them something new and interesting to cover so they go with that. Wright could only have killed him if it built and built and built and built. Now it's going to - likely - defuse and we'll be talking about something else next week.
