Nora O' on MSNBC just reporting an exit poll fact regarding Rev Wright...
...75 percent of those who though it mattered voted for Clinton. Foolish to speculate, but do you think that without the Wright factor this thing would have been over long ago?

4. Goody for you. I think she's obnoxious and incompetent. And she dated a Bushie.
Can't remember which one ... but she dated someone in the Bush White House -- or is she still dating him?

2. Dumb. If it was that effective, why did Obama win in NC, why is IN so close? nt

3. I am glad the Wright thing is part of the primary season
I hope that Wright will be old, boring news by the time of the general election. And the race thing was always going to be a factor. Better to deal with it now than later.

7. Yes, I agree totally, Frances. It's now 'out there' and won't be that
much of an issue.

11. I agree with you...I was flipping channels and on Fox,
Britt Hume was asking a reporter why McCain wasn't making a big deal about Wright...the answer (the reporter failed to mention) is that for every mention of Wright there is an equal mention of Hagee. It was obvious...but the Foxheads are such cowards.

Heh. Without Clinton, he would have been there.
He'd have had less people against him. But he'll do fine.

10. w/out Rev. Wright, this may have been over long ago, but this IMHO is even better.
because now Obama's pretty much fully vetted, he's shown the nation how to withstand the onslaughts of the GOP slime
machine (prematurely unleashed on behalf of Hillary) and do it with integrity, with grace. i.e. the Dems now have a
MUCH stronger nominee, and his name is Barak Obama.

13. No, they just said that to make it sound like it was hurting Obama
You can't tell me they really care about Wright. BS!

14. It would have been better to look at it as "what % of those who voted for Clinton said it mattered"
There's a causality question. Did they vote for Clinton because it mattered, or did they say it mattered becasue they voted for Clinton?

16. Agreed.. Wright gave closet racists all the ammo they needed to
Not have to vote for Obama. Instead of just "not liking him".. Wright gave them a reason that they could cling to. Sad, but true.

Now they have to decide which is worse.. McCain who won't do a damn thing for them, or Obama who will, but happens to have a skin color that they've been raised to dislike.

Pathetic really.
