Republicans claim they are gleefull over Obama in the fall, that they'll wrap Jeremiah Wright around every Democrat. And they did so, heavily, leading up to today's special election:

Now remember that this is a deeply conservative district, one that Bush won with 63% of the vote in 2004. There are at least 50 about 110 Republican-held seats less conservative than this one. And it's a district in the Deep South, where scary black people are supposed to be particularly damaging to Democrats.

And yet, Democrat Travis Childers won the district by eight points.

Imagine that.

No matter how much opportunistic Clinton supporters claim that Obama is a problem this November, fact is, the problem has been and remains George W. Bush and the Republican Party. Distractions like Wright and "bitter" have been, and remain, irrelevant.
