I think it sealed the deal for Obama. It showed Obama sticks to his guns and has some integrity and principal, while Hillary looked like a panderer. I think the gas tax issue hurt Hillary more than Rev. Wright hurt Obama.
I thought she blew it with that. She had an opportunity with that and lining herself up with McCain on it did hurt her. Also, this issue took the focus off of Wright and Obama.
Obama was smart to reject it and I think most of America agreed with him. This issue put him over the top, IMO.
