Duh?
Of course Wright's comment and Obama's association with him has hurt his chances. Have you seen the video that was put together by a McCain aide?
It has all the usual black suspects: Malcolm X, the black Olympians who gave a black power salute in Mexico (1968), Michelle Obama, Wright. I'm surprised the Panthers and Marcus Garvey haven't shown up, or a panoramic sweep of blazing urban cities in the 1960s.
The question is, Does this permanently damage him? That remains to be seen, but don't be surprise if it does.
This is Obama's first real political test, and also tests America.
