I voted Obama in your poll, but I'm just not sure how this will play out.  I think it depends on how the media plays it.  It's different than the "bitter" remarks  - which, in the end, are just some remarks.  What will matter is if the MSM hammers him on Ayers without breathing a word about the Woods Fund (lying by omission, the MSM is capital at that) saying it's a board, but not mentioning very often that it's a charity board.  Not mentioning what I've read on this blog that Ayers is a professor at UIC (if he's so bad would they really give him a teaching degree?? I mean, I had to fill one of those out when I thought I was going to go into teaching and they ask all kinds of stuff about your criminal history - obviously they didn't judge his past worthy of keeping him out of teaching), etc.  If they collectively omit facts and don't really allow Obama or Obama representatives a rebuttal that DOESN'T look like spin against spin... then I think he's in trouble.  It's one thing for people to think objectively about some comments - it's another thing to distrust the media enough to actively research an issue.
