Bachman is slipping that in.. and all day its been slipping in.. To be sure, Rev. Wright is coming up all next week and until the end of the election.. Remember, the last time this came around, PA was in play, and "Goddamn America" may have helped Hillary out a lot..

1. Oh no! We weren't expecting this at all!
I bet nobody in the Obama campaign is prepared for this, either.

4. Been there. Done that.
If people didn't care last March when they still had some money and a job, they aren't gonna care now!

The stench of loserdome and desperation is overpowering.

8. Bringing up Wright started today....
AdWatch: Anti-Obama group raises pastor in ads
By KATHLEEN HENNESSEY, Associated Press Writer Kathleen Hennessey, Associated Press Writer 54 mins ago
TITLE: "Obama's Wrong Values"; "Obama's Awful High Tax Policies"; "Hillary Clinton Rips Barack Obama" and "Obama's Patriotism Problem."

LENGTH: Clinton and patriotism ads are 60 seconds, others are 30 seconds.

PAID FOR BY: Our Country Deserves Better PAC, a Sacramento, Calif.-based group formed to campaign against Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.

AIRING: PAC claims ads are airing in Nevada, Colorado and Michigan, with a total ad buy of more than $100,000.

ANALYSIS: The ads are the work of an independent group and are not produced by Republican candidate John McCain's campaign. The exact size of the ad buy is uncertain because it has not yet been reported to federal election officials.

The group's goal is to use provocative images to "question the leadership, character and judgment of Barack Obama," according to PAC spokesman Joe Wierzbicki.

Wierzbicki said the group does not believe McCain's campaign has been strong enough in its attacks against Obama.

The images and allegations are provocative and, in some cases, unfounded. Many have been circulating in e-mails and on blogs, but have not yet been raised by McCain.

Clips from a controversial sermon delivered by Obama's former pastor Jeremiah Wright are used in two ads to charge that Obama doesn't share average Americans' values.

Another ad questions Obama's patriotism with a video clip in which he does not hold his hand to his heart during the national anthem. A third accuses Obama of sympathizing with Islamic militants. The ad does not support the statement.

Rest:

9. wright is already ""out there." If they bring him back up, it will only hurt Mccain. Here is why..
1. What he actually said wasn't NEARLY as bad as folks think, and so making it into a big issue risks letting the myth of the "angry anti-white church" get destroyed

In other words, Wright serves as a better casually mentioned bogeyman, than as a real story by himself.

2. Attacking a CHURCH is extremely risky for the GOP. Clinton could get away with that more easily, but Mccain going after a church right now is really asking for trouble. He needs latinos, and if he goes too hard after Wright... more of them will sympathize with where Obama is coming from.

10. I somehow doubt McCain brings up Wright. 527's will do it.
