Seriously, what's with these Rev Wright Ads?
I'm in CA, so I know this has to be a waste of money by Repubs, especially when they are about to lose one of their Republican strongholds.

Way too little, way too late. Who's even listening any more??

4. they undermine the "Muslim" argument since they talk about Obama baptizing his kids
and talking about Obama baptizing his kids communicates something to evangelicals that i don't think Republicans would find all that helpful.

6. I've seen it a dozen times tonight.
And it's having no affect whatsoever. Anyone who's been to a church with a spirited preacher will just go, 'Meh'. This will shock Mormons, but that's only because their services are more like funerals.

7. McCain's an idiot, and the people running his campaign are idiots, and the people in his base are
idiots. That's why you're seeing idiotic things being done right now.

15. They need a "national" bump and were hoping Wright would do it for McSame. It won't.
Rev. Wright is old news.

16. Last ditch get-out-the-racism push.
Hoping to appeal to any latent racist tendencies in someone who is voting Obama, but isn't entirely sure about it.
