    What should McCain do about Hagee?

    But oh no, nobody cares about that question. Why? Because most white media personnel and readers have little or no problem with Hagee's view.

    Funny, isn't it? Wright is damaging not only Obama but also Hillary Clinton. Why? Because Hillary Clinton is losing more and more black voters in general election every day, should she become the Democratic nominee. (Although this is not immediately obvious to white voters, black politicians have been pointing it out.) Meanwhile, Obama is losing more and more white voters in general election should he win the nomination.

    One has to wonder: Who actually sent Rev. Wright? Who does he really serve?
