#1 I don't think he succeeded in convincing the people he had to convince which is everybody but the true believers. Especially since he seemed more willing to put the pillow over his grandmother's face then jettisoning his "reverend".

#3 The supporters of Obama don't care. These are the people whose lives and identity were wrapped up in the collective cause of hating George W. Bush. I've heard more than one person ask what will happen to these rabid GW haters the day Bush gets out of office? Where will all of their anger that they had deflected onto GW go? How would they cope with the loss of the one man who was responsible for every single evil that took place in their lives?

The answer is Obama. Just like GW was Satan, Obama is their Savior.

I spent the week with an Obama supporter. They are a bit shaken by this and a few of the other negative things about him, but they dismiss it with "poor Obama, his pastor says terrible things and he is smeared with the same brush". These are the same people who were terrified by the fact that GW is a believing Christian, but that Obama goes to a black seperatist church is just something that really is no reflection on him.

The only question is can Hillary convince enough of those who aren't as invested in the emotional salvation aspect of Obama to vote for her. She may be able to do that. But for many, they simply aren't paying attention or they don't care what comes up - Obama is their man.
