The most destructive issue against Obama is Jeremiah Wright. It is this issue that will ensure Obama defeat on November 4th 2008.
The Reverend of hate, racism, and anti-Americanism is the most important factor that will cause 15% to 20% of the White democrats who voted for Kerry in 2004 to vote for John McCain and/or to simply stay home. These White democrats are mainly from the blue collar class and they concentrated in battleground states such as Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Minnesota, etc These voters have had a problem voting for black person to begin with and for sure they are not going to tied vote for Obama who strongly associated himself with Jeremiah Wright for 20 years and only dumped him upon the most obvious political necessity in April 2008.
The McCain campaign and the 527 groups on the Republican side should mount a major offensive in the next few weeks and bring back Jeremiah Wright in full force both in TV ads and other publicity forums. They have to strongly tie the two together so it will be hard for many voters to distinguish between Wright and Obama comes elections day. The TV ads should be broadcast only in 7 to 10 battleground states in order to have the most effective impact.
The polls that we are seeing now and we will continue to see are not taking in consideration the race issue among the White democrat voters. That is why these polls are very unreliable.
Bring back Wright, destroy socialist and defeatist Obama, and save the USA.
We’re waiting...
The McCain campaign won’t touch nor should they... btw the focus should be broad and not just rev wright... it should include some of the other characters or talk about how Obama got them money...

The McCain campaign is gearing up to criticize Senator Obama for his past associations with the Reverend Jeremiah Wright and a former Weather Underground operative, William Ayers, in the home stretch of the presidential race.
Right now Obama has the wind at his back and the sails are full.
It isn`t that his radical left wing policy ideas are correct or valid, it is because Joe and Jane sixpack just like his answers. Or more specifically, the way he talks and comports himself. The Joe sixpacks vote based on the way they ‘FEEL’ and not the issues.
Based on the debate and the slickness of his answers aka nuance, it seems he can verbally slither out of any accusations.
There sure have been a lot of vanities lately with campaign advice for McCain. I suspect that this idea has occurred to the people within the campaign. Maybe they are just keeping their powder dry for now? It is still early.
McCain needs to show us that he can stand up to Obama and people like him. I think he is more than capable but he needs to show it to the rest of the country. McCain needs to jump on this fool and jump hard during the debates.
Wright saying “God Damn America” is not going to fly with white, pro-American democrats in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, or any other of the battleground states.
Obama will flip out when (and if) the Wright ads hit the airwaves.
The race issue is the most powerfully emotional issue among those 15% to 20% White democrats that I mentioned in my original post. It is the ultimate "FEEL" issue.

The most destructive issue against Obama is Jeremiah Wright.It's so sad, so pathetic, that you think that, that we would be reduced to thinking that.
Obama is up to his eye-balls in financial-meltdown culpability and John "Chicken" McCain doesn't want to call him on it.
So we're reduced to dragging out the ole Jeremiah Wright rag doll and dangling that before the crowd.
How sad.
How pathetic.
And I thought McCain was a fighter.
I was so, so wrong.
Speaking of questions: WHERES SARAH PALIN?
Stop hiding Sarah Palin!
The Rev. Wright story hit the news big time during the primary season, but didn’t seem to hurt Obama in Democrat primaries. But the general election campaign is a different story.
Right now, states such as Ohio, Michigan, and Pennsylvania are very tight. Any small erosion of Obama support could tip these states to McCain. And if McCain won all three of these states, it hard to see where Obama makes up for them in other battleground states.
Excellent.
It is the issue that hurt him most in the last 15 primaries, more than any other issue, probably it was the only issue. The thing is that this issue came late in the primaries and Hillary Clinton could not catch up.
