McCain Has 'Reverend' Problems as Well...
Imagine this 30 second ad, run heavily next October. I think it would be devastating among undecided and swing voters.
"What does Barack Obama really believe in? His spritual teacher for 20 years has been Jeremiah Wright. Wright wedded Obama & his wife. Obama named his book from a sermon of Wright's. [insert video of favorable comment about Wright by Obama]. What has Jeremiah Wright taught Obama? [Insert rabid clip of Wright capped by "God Damn America!! God Damn America!!"] We need a solid patriot to lead our nation. Someone we can trust. Vote John McCain 2008."
Why can't Obama run equally disingenuous ads detailing the anti-Catholic, Anti-Muslim, Anti-Pro CHoice, and anti-gay rantings of the Revs. Hagee and Parsley - to equal effect?

After some thought, I think Senator Obama did the right thing today. McCain didn't take umbrage with Wright's comments and suggested that we should not judge the candidates on who endorses them but more on the issues. I believe he did this in hopes of diffusing the situation, his situation of Hagee and Parsley which will now need to be addressed.
It's only fair, right?
