The false narratives are hurting Obama now, but there's a lull in the campaign. Once things start happening I think he'll be all right. As they say, there's a lot of ball left. Somebody needs to exploit the wingnuts now for being hypocritical. They can't both paint Obama as a muslim and the wrong kind of christian. I suspect he's gonna take a hit in Pennsylvania, that's inevitable. When it comes down to it, once people start paying attention to the candidates themselves again instead of third party pundits and blabbermouths, Obama will come back out ahead. 2008 is going to be a benchmark year: will we continue to allow ourselves to be governed by our fears or our aspirations about where we need to be?
