I would not have spent my time posting that for a solution that is simple which is all this will go away when Hillary goes away. It does not matter what Wright said. But to me it matters what Obama and McCain say like that clip of McCain where he says during a Republican debate America is doing fine. Or where McCain says about being in Iraq for 100 years. Or when McCain says he is a conservative and does not support Bush tax cuts but then supports it now. These are not platitudes. These are like kerry's clip where he is on record saying "I voted for it before I voted against it."

Mary, all such comments have to start with a comparison with Clinton's negatives. Those present now and one's that can be created by a new round of worse-than-negative campaigning. As for Kerry, the key there was as much the lack of response from Kerry as the attack. I'll never understand why they didn't take on the swiftboaters early and why they didn't put Kerry's military records out for all to see. As for Obama, we are learning whether he can handle these attacks. So far he's done well. I agree that the Reps will do as you suggest. But, if matters continue down their present path, we are going to see (a) if Obama can deal with those kinds of attacks and (b) whether the American public might just have grown ever so inoculated to them.
