Not me. Everyone who cares about those issues is already voting against Obama. They need to stick with the issues that the Independents and undecideds care about, which is how Obama has performed as President.

Wrong. A majority of the people who will be voting have never heard of either Bill Ayers or Jeremiah Wright, because Obama got exactly one question from the MSM during the entire campaign. It came from George Stephanopolus, who himself had never heard of Rev. Wright until the day before, when Sean Hannity asked him why he and his colleagues were letting Senator Obama slide on that one.

The majority of voters only pay close attention to politics for six weeks or so every four years. They do no listen to political talk radio, and they do not watch cable news. This is particularly true of independents. Of course voters are concerned with the economy, but character also matters. The MSM built up a false character profile of Obama, and they will do so again if our candidate lets them. He can't run on his record, so he will make character a major issue, regardless of who is opponent is.

You don't sound like a troll to me, you sound naive.

Here are what the polls said about Wright.

FOX News Poll: More Than Half Believe Obama Doesn't Share Views of Pastor Wright
FOX News Poll: Wright Ties Hurt Obama Campaign
Poll: Flap over pastor hurts Obama
Poll: Wright and Obama
Poll shows Rev. Jeremiah Wright hurting Barack Obama
Obama resigns from controversial church (not a poll, but shows the MSM reported it)

On Ayers, it's possible most didn't know, but it's naive to think that the DU and Daily KOS "trolls" who lurk here didn't know. They just didn't care.
