Obama and the cable media storm - its ONLY the cable "NEWS" variety shows overplay
They live and die by ratings and viewers and boy is this video a blockbuster.

News? It was. But every MAJOR NEWS (journalists, not pundits) blogs, websites (see CNN today and find Wright - you won't) have moved on to the issues, the reality for Clinton (long shot) and the speeches being given about Iraq and the Economy.

The cable news pundits will play and play the clip until the next BIG THING hits youtube!!!

By April 1 it will be tired. Tired, used up and buried on YouTubes 10th page.

What matters now for the primary is Obama going after McCain, ignoring Hillary, and keep the grassroots movement alive.

Obama WILL be the nominee. Remember that, ignore the DU naysayers and spinners, and cable news opportunists.

Say it: President Barack Obama

3. It doesn't matter what we political junkies are watching...
...or thinking. What matters is middle America. Joe Sixpack, whatever. And 67 percent of the independents already think less of Obama because of Wright. And they don't watch cable TV or much network news. They listen to talk radio, which is relentlessly attacking Obama.

4. I think you are overestimating the joe sixpacks who listen to rush and underestimating
their intellect.

Plus. The margin of "joe sixpack" votes Obama will lose (as well as never have gotten in the first place) is SLIM to NONE.

He can and will with out them.
