On Wednesday, the "talk" will be about how Obama rebounded from Rev Wright.... but the REAL STORY is
...Hillary's gas tax pander is falling flat on its face.


No pundits will mention that though..... When Obama wins NC by 10 to 15, and narrowly loses IN by 2 to 5....... the pundits will say:

"Obama has successfully put Wright behind him."


...and while that is true.... I think the electorate is smarter than that. They will see that the Hillary/McCain gas tax holiday pander is EXACTLY what everyone hates about Washington.

1. It should be. It is true that the American people are smarter and better than that.....
but sometimes it takes them a while to "get" it.

We don't have a lot of time.....so let us pray, that they are that smart!

2. But Obama gas pandered in Illinois ?
Why isn't he saying that's why he's against it instead of attacking HRC ?

:shrug:

3. He talked about that today on MTP and on his stump speeches
He admitted it was a mistake. An intelligent person learns from his mistakes.

BTW- Hillary was against this in 2000.

4. Watch MTP from today..........

He said that it was a mistake in Illinois, and he learned from it... and that Hillary and McCain have NOT learned from it.

6. I doubt it...all the talk will be about why Obama doesn't do better with uninformed white people
Which will be wrapped in the "regular guy" white working class wrapper. His "problems" will continue to be linked to Reverend Wright, which will give them an excuse to keep pastorbating.

This will happen even if the numbers play out as you suggest. Someone in the background on one of the cable stations will say, hey, Hillary is now mathematically out of this thing. He or she will be looked at cross-eyed and with pity, and will be followed by any number of Rev. Wright clips in return for their impertinence.
