"I’m probably among three or four people on this board who thought it was a fine speech."

Listened to it on my way to Appleton yesterday and I also thought it sounded quite good, considering the ends he wanted?

Would/did I buy it?
No.
Did his supporters and those on the fence concerning the guy buy it?
You bet.

Moreover Obama's supporters are feeling more self righteous then ever.
The guy has some masterful propagandists writing his pap, that's for damned sure, and we'll see it play-out in the coming weeks and months in his favor. ;^)

"At this point any further exploration of the 'Wright' issue is going to be seen as piling on, due to the very influences he highlighted across the racial divide."

HA!!
Spot-on analysis, ol' friend.

Said this to his daughter who in-turn told me or I'd have not learned of this, ever if a'tall.

Can make up your own mind as to *why* a died-in-the-wool Democrat would do something they themselves have to find as outrageous as anything they could possibly do with their vote.
I've my own suspicion.
Be that as it may I'll bet the man's not alone among the Democrat *base*.

...of that you may be sure. ;^)
