ParticipantMarion,
I agree with Obama that Pastor Wright’s comments were “inflammatory and appalling.” I also know that those comments are rooted in a tragic history of race relations in this country. And I honestly don’t think Obama holds those same views of his pastor. But we are talking about a Presidential election and this was some pretty strong material. I grew up in the Ohio Valley which is basically the Mason Dixon line, when I heard excerpts of that sermon my first thought was that aint going to go over well in Lexington Ky. This will hurt him among those who are curious about his candidacy and are seeking more information. The US has a pretty conservative electorate as a whole, candidates usually color their campaigns with talk about apple pie, family, ad sports. Having your pastor say “God Damn America” may pose a problem for that candidate.

ParticipantI think Obama’s candidacy looks to me like a third party candidate within the system. He’s strongest among those that would be open to a third party, independents, the young, and some cross over republicans. The exception of course would be African Americans which are a traditional democratic block. If he makes it to the General…after hearing his pastors vile comments those chances are now slimmer IMHO….it would be interesting to see how he would position himself. All we have seen is the Democratic Primary race which has to lean left to shore up the vote. Paul Volcker whom many on this board respect as an actual Fed chairman came out in support of Obama. Volcker is not exactly an orthodox liberal in fact you could say he is the antithesis of that. So what is gong there? Regarding the first black president, in my mind that should have been Colin Powell. Just my two cents.
