Preferences for both Democratic candidates remain largely unchanged.
  • You Could Say.....

    ...that Obama should not attend any church unless he is in lock-step agreement with every single word his pastor utters.

    ...that Obama is perfectly capable of listening to people he disagrees with without rejecting them out of hand.

    ...that Obama clearly should have thrown Wright under the bus--maybe even years ago-- and that he should trample over ANYONE who gets in the way of his campaign or ever utters a politically incorrect statement.

    ....that Obama is capable of compassion, humanity, and loyalty towards his former pastor, even while finding Wright weirdly stuck in a time warp.

    ...that Obama wouldn't dare alienate the black vote by disowning Wright.

    ...that Obama is too weak to turn his back on an old friend, even when it would be politically expedient; that he lacks the "killer instinct" necessary to win.

    ....that the American public is smart enough to know that you can't hold a candidate personally responsible for everything that comes out of his/her followers' mouths.

    ...that the American public is hysterical enough to freak out at hearing "God Damn America" and there is no way way Obama can win the general election.

    ....that every candidate's pastors, ministers, and mentors all need to be vetted now; the hell with separation of church and state.

    ...that Obama didn't lie or deny an unpleasant truth. He faced it head-on and dealt with it truthfully.

    You COULD say that perhaps the majority of Americans find that kind of honesty and loyalty admirable.

    I'm just sayin'.
