The NUMBERS are IN
He’s turned out to be a lot more than that “crazy old uncle” that Sen. Obama once described… Rev Jeremiah Wright has continued to dog the senator’s campaign.
But just exactly how bad of a problem is it?
If you look at the latest Fox News-Opinion Dynamics poll, it reveals troubling news for the Obama Camp.
First, the big numbers: 45 percent of Americans care about the Controversy and 70 percent say it’s damaged Obama politically – and that includes more than 6 in 10 democrats and 7 in 10 independents.
Additionally, the poll found nearly half of Americans think Wright’s message is anti-white… And a majority thinks it’s anti-American. That includes almost half of Democrats – and 42 percent of Independents who Obama will definitely need to win the General Election if he is to get the nomination.
Then there’s this: Obama’s favorable opinion among Democrats has fallen 10 points in two months: from 73 percent in Feb. to 63 percent in Apr. – which isn’t good news.
But the most revealing number may be this: One in five Obama supporters now say the Wright affair makes them less likely to vote for him (20%)… Yet despite this downtrend, Obama remains tied with Clinton nationally and is AHEAD still in the race that really matters … The race for delegates.

On Fox news Sunday this morning Karl Rove, Chris Wallace, and most Sunday panel members agree that Barrack has won and John has no chance.
It makes you wonder why the campaigns are still raising money that they do not need. Barrack does not need any more money to win and John should not need any more to lose.
Also since early voters have decided this race already then why spend valuable time between now and November 4th talking about the race and covering it on election night.
The media and talking pundits have take the excitement away.
