    @-- debaser

    Yeah, I would not be surprised to see Wesley Clark as a good match for Obama. 4 Star General, Rhodes Scholar, anti-terrorism creds.

    As far as the Rev. Wright controversy, Obama's picking up lost ground in the polls as reported by WSJ. The long-term net impact of Wright is that it gives folks who wanted to hate Obama, a reason to hate Obama that they can point to. These are the same folks who were clinging to the "secret muslim" bullshit and are relieved to have something new to grasp on to.

    The way I see it, I can't condem Obama anymore than I can condem Catholics for some of the outrageous and backwards statements that come out of the Vatican.
