The End Of A Special Relationship?
2008 April 29
Things must have been going really sour poll-wise after the Reverend’s recent public performance, for Sen Obama to feel he had to do this.

UPDATE, April 30: USA Today:
…University of Maryland political scientist Ron Walters, however, warned that denouncing Wright could produce a black backlash against Obama. “He’s caught in a racial vise not of his own making,” Walters said.
True. It might. But assuming most black voters stay in his camp, this may win him many more white voters, upon whom (assuming he wins the nomination) his November general election hopes will invariably rest.



Wow.. I never thought that would happen. His (former) pastor does seem to be quite … outspoken. To say the least.
His denunciation is the most unambiguous and meaningful public statement he’s made to date. He’s gone up in my estimation.
This was Sen. Obama’s Captain Renault moment. And probably so twenty years too late!
