Obama won. Big.
Those ads in Louisiana and North Carolina didn't work. Wright is not the issue republicans hoped.
Rush Limbaugh talked about it today. Republicans have lost two completely safe seats. Denny Hastert is gone. Republicans lost Baton Rouge. Here is why I think democrats not only increase their leads in both the senate and the house but will put the first black american in the white house.
My wife.
Now I am a lunatic. Hell, I write these columns that nobody reads. My wife though is sane (opposites attract). She has an equal aversion to both parties and often votes libertarian. I showed her two attack ads. One played in N. Carolina that McCain ask not to be aired and the one showing a very old looking McCain saying it was fine with him if we stayed in Iraq for 100 years. My wife asked for the context of McCain's comments and I told her.
She said the ad attacking McCain was not only more unfair, but would be more destructive. She thinks ultimately you cannot make Amerca see Wright when they look at Obama and see Obama when they look at Wright. McCain will be shown hugging Bush. The two will be tied at the hip.
I'm betting Obama.
