The swiftboating of Obama will not work. I have faith that Americans are sick of the "politics as usual," they are sick of the war and the race- and gender-baiting, and the fiddling while Rome (i.e. U.S. society and economy) burns. Americans are ready for a serious dialogue after the juvenile antics of the current administration, and they will realize that Obama is the person who will deliver it for them. It will be a new morning in America this November and not the same old politics. American voters are going to show the swiftboaters the door.

IF some radical right wing 527 tries to swiftboat Obama I would not be surprised to see a well funded progressive 527 come back at McCain and question his ties to pastor Hagee (who has said VERY inflamatory things about Catholics)...

Obama's campaign staff will not engage in the politics of personal destruction and I think most voters will not buy into it in this election cycle...Yet, it's tough to control what Independent 527 groups do.

Guilt by association is reckless and EVERY politician has at times been around or has some ties to someone who has said or done controversial things.

well, the good thing is that Obama drew a VERY sharp contrast between himself and Wright:
Obama...
* calm, thoughtful, reasoned, measured

Wright...
* hysterical, spewing invective, unwilling to see how far we've come

I hope people see the difference and are open to the idea that Obama stands for something very different than what Wright said.
