Well, Obama effectively negated that problem
Not only did he give a great speech, but he also effectively linked the comments said by Wright with the comments said by Ferraro, and appropriately dismissed both of them as racist and bigoted. In effect he linked the racism, or perceived racism, of both camps and took the high road by denouncing both of them. This was a good move, and by comparison makes Hillary look lethargic. She didn't grab the bull by the horns with the Ferraro remarks, instead she tried to mealy mouth her way out of the situation. Obama instead dealt with both cases strongly and effectively, and now comes out on top looking like he has the high moral ground.

This is evidenced in the MSM reports that I'm hearing, which are basically linking both Wright's and Ferraro's remarks and are going on about how Obama denounced both sets of comments.

So while many Hillary supporters are going to continue to try and beat this dead horse, out here in the real world, it's over. There will be some commentary, mostly positive, over the next twenty four hours and then the public and the media will move on to more important things, like how the economy is tanking.
