28. Actually, I do think the Obama campaign was wily enough to do this
Think about it. They had to know this sh*t was going to come out at some point. What better time from their POV than now? They've got more than a month to diffuse it before the PA primary (and from what I saw last night, Obama is diffusing it beautifully). Now the Clinton campaign can't drop it as a bombshell the week before PA, as they did the NAFTA smear right before OH and TX. McCain can't drop this bomb in August -- swiftboat season; it'll be as stale as his affair with the lobbyist.

Obama has shown himself to be the superior chessplayer in this campaign over and over again. He was not my first choice for president because I didn't think he was wily enough to play the D.C. game and win for Dems -- the more I see him thruout this campaign, the more firmly I support him.

GObama!
