I think a lot of people are missing the issue with this Wright thing in terms of the GE. If Obama begins to recover from the Wright issue now after the second Wright flare up or later, the anti-Obama crowds may have overplayed the issue too soon.

Basically, Obama will be “vetted” before GE while Hillary (Penn vs. Clinton, molestation charges vs. Pastor) and Mccain (Bush-like policies etc) will be getting “vetted” during the GE.

Republicans really need Wright to seriously stick, because they know they have less on Obama (Wright and maybe some play off Rezko). Right now it’s a win win for them since it’s almost inevitable Obama wins. By attacking Obama, they keep nomination process going and run a GE election against him. So far the nomination process also hurts both candidates. Thus more votes for Republicans no matter what.

If Obama comes out on top, they have damaged him to bring him down a few levels. If Hillary comes out on top (which would cause an uproar if it’s not close), her negatives will be high enough for Republicans to character assasinate her with issues being ignored by Obama and the Mass Media.
