>>I'm not talking about bias as in bigoted. I'm talking about bias as in wishful thinking, in large part. I've seen posts here asserting that this won't have a long-term effect on Obama and posts elsewhere just as confidently asserting that he's toast. Both reflect bias. There's no basis for asserting either at this point.<< Karen - Thanks for clarifying that. I agree that it's probably too soon to tell what effect this will have on Obama in the long term. I do believe, and have said so already, that some people will be put off Obama permanently by this stuff. His negatives have gone up in polls already, and I believe that for many of the people who have just formed a negative opinion about him, that opinion will remain negative. Is it enough to make him unelectable? I have yet to see evidence to suggest that it is. I note that his negatives are still quite a bit lower than Hillary Clinton's. - Allen
