McCain is not going to want to fight Obama on Wright. He has his own Religious Nut Problem
and McCain would be in danger of losing a shit load of Catholics, one of the largest voting blocks in the country. The 527's will fly but McCain will denounce them in all possible terms or he knows he will be attacked in the same way.

1. His "spiritual mentor" said America was created to destroy Islam
Maybe we need to do away with spiritual mentors.

3. I honestly think McCain's campaign will be far cleaner than Hillary has been
McCain has NEVER ran a dirty campaign before, and I doubt he will this time.

6. Yep, McCain Won't Touch This Chit
Only Rush and Hannity are sick enough to wallow in this mire and their viewership wasn't going to vote Dem anyway. I wonder why Hillary supporters want to wallow.

7. John McCain himself is a racist.
"I hated the gooks. I always will."

9. As does Hillary aka The Fellowship/Doug Coe an extreme Rightwing Theocratic movement
that recruits politicians. Most GOP'ers but with Dems like Hillary and Bill Nelson.

10. False comfort.
Most Americans aren't antisemitic but also aren't going to get riled up over an antisemitic pastor endorsing McCain.

The vast majority of voters will be influenced by a candidate for the Presidency having an advisor and mentor who is blatantly anti-American and racist, especially if Obama fails to renounce his affiliation with that church.

All Americans are American; only a small percentage are Jews and Jews will mostly vote Republican anyway.

There's simply no comparison between the voter impact potential of McCain's problem and Obama's.
