People will be like, dude... that was so March.

By then, no doubt Hillary's personal stylist will have been caught with a dimebag of weed, or McCain's dog-walker will be revealed to be an animal abuser (how can he run the country if he's going to pick out people who are cruel to animals to take care of his own pets?!?). Once all the shrieking dies down from those things, like the alarm brain blasts in Harrison Bergeron, who will be able to remember what the hell he was thinking a few weeks earlier
Well, Fox will certainly keep this issue alive, but the people who watch them aren't going to vote for Obama anyway, so I suppose the question is how will the rest of the mainstream media handle it. McCain will certainly do his best to keep it front and center come the general election, assuming Obama hangs on that long, and Hilly will use it to see that he doesn't.

Frankly, I don't see how Obama can spin this thing away. He's already claimed he didn't know that Wright was preaching racial diatribes, which makes him either a dolt or a liar.

The smart thing to do would have been to claim that he slept through those 20 years of sermons, eh?
