those on the far left will be placated. the kids that support him won’t care. they knee jerk support him strictly on the basis of his color, and that he is closer in age to them than either of the other two candidates. what obama risks losing is the center. he risks inflaming the underlying bigot vote-which is a small part of the electorate. however, if not inflamed bigots might stay home. If enraged, they will turn out and small percentages in this election will mean a lot.
obama also finally had the stones to do what dick morris said was necessary to be president, “You have to eat your young.”. Obama tried to be loyal to friends, and could not cut them loose. to be the man, you have to cut them loose when they become a liability. Wright is more than a liability, he is an anchor. Clinton has momentum in this race now. Democrats are not risk takers by nature-Clinton is the safe pick. Any increase in perceived risk makes the undecideds break for Hillary. Wright increases the risk-Bill Ayers is next. Obama must cast him aside. he has underestimated the amount of digging the press does, and needs to come clean about how close their relationship was-and talk about how he ended it. Ayers is a terrorist that will be a huge liability come November.
