The point isn't that Hillary is worse. This isn't about her.
Wright will alienate or scare voters that Obama needs. It is likely that Obama will get the Democratic nomination, but his chances in the general get worse everyday with Wright pushing himself to the front. (Hillary did not make Wright up, nor did she ask him to speak and appear all over the media.)
Gore and Kerry were torn to shreds for being "liars" and "cowards" and "elitists". Why do you think Obama is immune? He could easily be portrayed as a lefty radical - with a hidden agenda - and lefty radicals do not win votes in OH, IN, PA, FL, MI, MO, but a war hero will.
