He gave $200 to Obama and they talked a couple times.
Next trumped up scandal, please.
cat's meow among the young and the progressive, but they don't fly all that well among the middle americans we need to ... um ... you know, win an election?
this connection is among the weakest you'll see, and is nowhere near the magnitude of the rogues' gallery of shady people that are attached to the Clintons.
I'm sure Team Obama is more than ready for this particular attack already.
CBS Poll: Good Reviews For Obama Speech
Sixty-nine percent of voters who have heard or read about Obama's speech say he did a good job addressing the issue of race relations, and 63 percent of voters following the events say they agree with Obama's views on race relations. Seventy-one percent say he did a good job explaining his relationship with Wright.
And if you want to talk about "raedy," let's talk about the entire Clinton campaign, from their "inevitable" strategy to their string of losses and unpreparedness for caucuses.
Well, it was all supposed to be over by Super Tuesday, you see...
ain't so hot.
Obama's speech is the #1 video on YouTube.
proportion of U.S. voters watch youtube?
I don't either, but compared to those who watch FOX and ABC (both of which are beating this Wright drum nonstop), I suspect it is relatively small.
Plus we have abundant evidence of Obama supporters' penchant for "viral" action. With an army zombies like this, it's not hard to run up the youtube hits.

you can find at least one that says the opposite. Plus, this was a re-poll of people who'd been sampled earlier. The question might go something like this: "Yesterday you said you felt [x] about Obama. He has now given a major address on this topic. Do you feel that his address has improved your view of him?"
Respondent: Yes, sure, I guess so.
ABC and Fox don't seem to be big Democratic voter strongholds, either.
I daresay the only network with lower ratings than ABC is the CW, and I would be shocked if a Fox viewer was receptive to voting Democratic at all in the first place.
