I'm not sure what is so "amazing".

You think it would be a cause celebre wrt McCain? Hardly. McCain has Hagee. Hardly a cause celebre, at least not for me. McCain is obnoxious for other reasons- I don't need to use the religious figure of Hagee as an excuse.

Wright is retired both from the church and from his minimal participation in the campaign. He wasn't a big deal (for ME- I don't have a home team that I know of) before, and he's even less of a big deal now. That's what I think. I've no idea what the various teams think. I consider myself an individual rather than a team- maybe this is a male thing, but you guys can put yourselves on all the teams you want- I don't feel a POV puts me on any team; I'm unaffiliated, and wish to remain that way.

So is your omitting of Hagee a "home team pass" in your opinion?

I don't think Obama and Wright (or even Wright combined with Meeks and Pfleger) is a huge issue. But a 20+ year relationship with Wright, combined with the situation with the other two is clearly more of an issue than getting Hagee's endorsement. Perhaps Obama and the various ministers is only a minor issue, but if so Hagee is an insignificant issue.
