Becky, you are absolutely right. His outspending her is based on his ability to raise funds. This surely will be an important factor in the SD's decision to support him.

Insightful and interesting post. I agree with your points. The problem of Reverend Wright is not going away, ever. The immediate problem is the impact on North Carolina and Indiana. Should Senator Clinton win both, the nomination process will be in chaos. Even an Obama N.C win and a Clinton Indiana win will be a problem. Should Senator Obama win both the primary contest is essentially over. He needs to address this head on but he is in a box. He has said he can not renounce Reverend Wright but now he surely needs to distance himself more than he has. This is a opportunity for him to more forcefully address the issue.

The main point is civility, not issues of race and gender. I totally concur that the nasty personal attacks on candidates or supporter add nothing to the discussion. We should be able to disagree without personal attacks.
