Results of My Poll
20 non-randomized, non-anonymous subjects, working at a small techie company in NYC thoughts on the Wright controversy:
12 thought his speech "fixed things"
4 thought that it would seriously harm Obama's chances of winning the general
3 were totally non-committal about everything
1 is convinced that the 3 minutes of Wright sermons on YouTube that everyone saw prove that Obama has poor judgement
The more interesting result, however, is that 19 of the 20 believe that it's a complete waste of time to be discussing the issue, and that there's no reasonable way to argue that Obama should be judged on the basis of a few selected out-of-context quotes of his preacher.
