    I'd say Wright and the elite stuff were some pretty aggressive blows.

      Wait until the Republican Attack Machine gets going.

      Everything I say to you is a lie. Even this.

      •  I'm sure they'll try... (0+ / 0-)

        but the thing is, after the complete bankruptcy of all their ideas has been so starkly exposed...their war-loving attack machine will be playing to an increasingly disinterested electorate.

        That's one reason I think this primary has been so bitter...it's for all the marbles.

        Oh yeah, other attacks he has thus far survived: Ayers, he's a secret Muslim, middle name, Bittergate, Michelle's an angry black woman...etc.

        Softballs?  That Wright stuff was major league hardball in a league that very few would ever have the composure to play in.

        •  But this has just been an intramural game. (0+ / 0-)

          The public at large has barely paid attention (although more so than most primaries).

          Here's just a quick list of questions that he will have to answer in the general that he doesn't talk much about in the primary.

          Abortion.  Okay to nine months?  But you said so in your speech to the Illinois state legislature.

          Nuclear power?  You are for it?  Then why won't you open Yucca mountain?

          Rezko?  Why did you (in effect) accept a $300,000 loan from him?

          You said you will leave Iraq, pretty much, no matter what.  

          What if severe violence erupts?  What if we are asked to stay?  What if Iran openly interferes?

          Will you do away with Nafta?  Or other trade agreements?  Convince us that it has much to do with our job losses.

          That's just a few among many that he hasn't had a critical audience in the Democratic primary.

          Everything I say to you is a lie. Even this.
