Reasonable people know he isn't one. How could one not roll your eyes at such ads? I say, let them waste their money on over-the-top BS.

Slightly off topic, the Reverend Wright thing surprises me. We have a friend, an MD who doesn't pay much attention to politics, who swears Obama is a Muslim. He says his right wing catholic wife thinks Obama is much scarier than the Mormon RMoney for this reason. Why do they want to remind people Obama attended Reverend Wright's Christian church after spending so much effort making him out to be a Muslim?
