    Polls show Obama seriously damaged by Wright affair

    Acoring to The Times, a national opinion poll in the US has Hillary leading Obama by 49% to 42%, a 13 point shift in less than two weeks.

    She now holds a 16 point lead in Pennsylvania.

    Further, the GOP now believe that Obama will be easier to beat than Clinton, something that Hillary's aides are impressing on the superdelegates.

    Is this the beginning of the end of the Obama phenomenon?

    A puff of wind would blow Obama over.

    Im no Hillary fan (Im a John McCain man myself) but if its Obama for the Dems then McCain is a shoe in.

    At the end of the day Obama is inexperieced and when the yanks go to the polls they wont go for an untested character.

    They're in a real bind as it still looks like he'll have more delegates. If he doesn't get the nomination, there are going to be a lot of very pissed off black voters who might decide to stay at home on election day. The Republicans don't need black votes as they don't get many but if the Democrats don't get a high turnout in the cities, they're toast.

    Could it be argued that white blue collar dem supporters will break for McCain rather than vote for Obama?

    One poll today has McCain/Obama tied in Mass, the home of NE liberalism, I kid you not!

    I really am amazed by all of these stupid white yuppies like Andrew Sullivan who jumped the Obama bandwagon because he "transcends race" and could "clense America of it's racial past".

    FFS, the man left Hawaii which has no racial problems for Black slums to sue white people in the name of diversity while he lived according to some black value system.

    As if things couldn't get any worse, there's now another controversial pastor, James Meeks embarrassing Obama.

    If Obama is not cutting it in Mass. then McCain will win a landslide in electorial college votes.

    Although there's still 7/8 months to the big day.

    I like reading Sullivan, and often agree with him. But he's making a fool of himself at the moment. He's allowing his hatred of the Clintons (as does much of right-wing America) to blind himself to political reality
