Call him Barack O'Bama - for he's got the luck of the Irish.
The very week he faces his toughest obstacle ever - one that may still derail his candidacy - Obama gets a near-game-ending pot of gold.
It now appears certain that Hillary Rodham Clinton's efforts to rewrite party rules in a desperate search for a lifeline have failed.
Her absurd proposal of counting her "wins" in Michigan and Florida - long after everyone agreed they wouldn't count - has been laughed off the table.
And now, it appears, there won't even be any revotes.
While revotes are the only way to resolve the matter justly, they would have been problematic for Obama ever since his insane preacher - who makes the Black Panthers seem docile - became a household name.
The Rev. Jeremiah Wright would have terrified elderly Democrats in Florida and blue-collar whites in Michigan.
But Obama's luck doesn't end there. The timing of this whole mess couldn't have been better, because it competed for airtime with Eliot Spitzer's sexcapades.
The tapes have been around for years but came out only after Obama established himself as a solid front-runner.
And when they finally got widespread attention, it was during the longest spell of the campaign without any contests.
The next primary is still more than four weeks away in Pennsylvania, where Obama was going to lose anyway.
But luck is never just luck, and Obama works very hard.
The Wright scandal has been Obama's Gennifer Flowers moment.
And just as Bill Clinton handled that first great bimbo eruption, Obama handled this quite deftly.

Obama and his preacher are both typical liberals - both Marxist, racist, lunatics.
He deftly fed into their “white liberal guilt”
but he violated the “bargain”. He was not to throw past injustices in their faces, and they were to no see him as threatening.
His support for grievance mongering violated the bargain.
ooops, 502 got me.
I think that BHO had a lot of lukewarm and grudging support from people who just didn’t want Evita and now are going to drop him on his head ... even it means that they vote for no one or else for McCain.
The most recent polls of Democrats show that this speech did not help, but hurt. There are a lot of blue collar Democrats who now refuse to vote for him. This must have also cooled the passion of many Jewish Dems who must be looking askance..
You have just been suspended by the McCain campaign.
Is your anger and resentment so great that you cannot look at things objectively thus blinding you to reality?
It certainly appears so.
That post number 18 is really funny. “The Audacity of a dope” ROFL!
Let’s write a book “The Audacity of a dope - The Jeremiah Wright Story”. LOL.
Or “The rantings of a racist Lunatic - The Jeremiah Wright Story”. lol
The one they should run the most is the speech where he says that the USA government knew about the Pearl Harbor attack ahead of time...Democrats will not like that one.
Except there aren't going to be any primary re-dos, so it's really quite a crappy strategy in my opinion.
I’d love to see Hillary run as an independent.”
Don’t think she can-— she is surgically grafted to Bill.
OTOH: IF she tried to do that, could the Demorat party and the DNC demand back all the money spent on her campaigning??????
Now, if they can just prove that FOX made Jeremiah rant and rave like he does, FOX will replace Israel as the most accomplished mastermind in the world, and more bad news for the Left, as they can begin to anticipate the FOX will next make the Nominatrix whistle zippity-doo-dah out her ass.
It won't be fun for people who own electronics stores in the inner city.
Anybody else but me notice how invisible Oprah has been since Rev. Wright hit the news?
She used to be a member/donor to that church a few years ago, wasn’t she? I wonder how her white bread moron audience feels about her connection to this racist church.”
Oprah has been virtually invisible since her first big splash with Obama. Are you able to find out any more info on her church affiliations and if she actually was active in that “church”??
I agree that her audience would be veeerrrrrrryy unhappy if that is true.

She could hook-up with Nader and they could run on the Green Marxist ticket.
Wait! Fox News went back years, and even made fake DVDs of Wright’s sermons? LOL!
When the Imus incident occurred, Oprah gathered some prominent African American business people and record label owners and held a town hall meeting.
One would think that the Wright episode and its impact on a presidential race would be far more noteworthy than what a dj with comedic aspirations might have to say. Yes, where is Oprah?
Yup, we will see riots like we have never seen before. Even if Obama wins the nomination but loses in November, there will be riots.....and if he loses by a humiliating landslide....very possible.....make that double riots.
Actually, even if Obama wins the Presidency there will celebratory riots.
