Obama's Speech By Thomas Sowell Wednesday, March 19, 2008 Did Senator Barack Obama's speech in Philadelphia convince people that he is still a viable candidate to be President of the United States, despite the adverse reactions to statements by his pastor, Jeremiah Wright? The polls and the primaries will answer that question. The great unasked question for Senator Obama is the question that was asked about President Nixon during the Watergate scandal; What did he know and when did he know it?

It's tougher when it's an anti-liberal message of course, but in this age of YouTube, it can be done. Just make it take off virally and you will have sanitized it for the major media outlets.
