4. Yup. Yesterday all the Hillary supporters were crowing about how "this is just the beginning"
or "this just includes one day of the Wright 'gate.'"

2. As happy as I am to see that
I just don't trust Rassmussen polls. They always seem to be way different than every other poll.

7. I agree. They always seem to favor Hillary (and Bush).
He IS a Repub. pollster, afterall.

5. Is the Clinton campaign strategy aimed at bottling up Democratic enthusiasm ?
They wish like hell they had the following of Obama.

9. I said this already...I think Obama's support is strong enough to carry him to Denver
It's the General Election that we should be looking to.

35. No-by Feb. 5th! She had no plan B. Good thing she threw the kitchen sink at him!
Bad thing it didn't work! And she's going to be questioned about REAL issues like her tax return, WH documents, etc. This is gonna get good!

38. do you really need to ask that?
It's obvious why. The longer this race continues, the more disadvantaged both democrats become compared to McCain. We're killing our chances for the GE.

40.  The 'lag' phase between a major scandal appearing in the MSM and it's
penetration into voter intentions is generally a week.

43. Good
I actually think all this stuff with Wright is good for Obama - it will show he CAN take the stuff the repubs will throw at him and still rise above the fray and do well with voters. It might have hurt if they had timed it better (ie right before PA) but by the time PA gets to vote it will be old news.

44. Media is going to be pissed. They are still playing Wright.
They don't want to let it go just like they did not want to let the South Carolina story go. THey kept going on and on about how successful Bill was at putting Barack in a box and painting him as the black candidate. I mean it seemed like WEEKS they kept doing that. What happened? Intelligent whites showed them that they were not falling for their hit job! They were not going to let the media be able to paint them as being racist and not wanting to vote for the black candidate. They voted for the best candidate. So keep at it media. Obama will come out on top and you will look stupid again.
