Poll question: Poll. Obama Crisis: Tempest in a Teapot or Catastrophe?

Like many others, I'm having trouble estimating the real damage that has gone on here, allegedly, to Obama's campaign as a result of the Reverend Wright fiasco.

What do you think?

1. there's a lot of preachers who say worse things EVERY sunday - black, white, & other nt

[Smarmie Doofus]

9. But the presumptive DEM Pres. nominee isn't sitting in the pew nodding...

... his head.

It's not the same thing.

[Dems Will Win]

2. People are scared shitless about the economy, that's what really matters

[ORDem]

3. Long forgotten (except by Hillbots) by the time PA rolls up. n/t

:kick:

13. And what about the press? Do you think they will forget?

The Rnc?

4. Put in the McClurkin file by Obama supporters until November 5th

when they ask themselves, "What happened?"

5. It's only story after this week to the Hillary supporters

who want to bring the party down when their candidate doesn't get the nomination.

[Scurrilous]

6. Like SnubGate et al...

...this too shall pass. :thumbsup:

7. This Will Go On As Long As...

...Hillary hasn't yet conceded, so probably until the convention. If she concedes earlier, then Wright can be countered by Hagee, Robertson, et. al. We'll have to wait and see.

8. You need a fourth option...

An attempted "swiftboating" that will serve to strengthen and reinforce his message of hope. A catalyst that will re-envigorate his campaign and drive it over the finish line into the White House.

This may backfire on the perpetrators of this cynical ploy..

10. Does anyone expect honest answers in polls like this?

The country is 50/50.

DU is 70/30.

Polls like this are pre-answered at DU.

11. The media is helping to push the story along kind of like "Dean's Scream" .

So I would say its a catastrophe based on the constant lead in stories shown on all the major news networks daily. Everyone is talking about it so of course it spurs the media on. It doesn't play well for Obama.

12. We just don't know yet.

I lean toward the teapot, but we'll have to wait and see.

14. It doesn't amount to much outside DU and the talk radio crowd.

[Kittycat]

15. Certainly didn't impact the Iowa Caucus Today. 23-13

Obama - up 7
HRC - down 1
