Before I begin, let me say that I’m sure I’ll get a few "concern troll" comments and many people may vehemently oppose what I am about to say. This isn’t a "chicken little" rant, I don’t think the sky is falling, and I’m not taking a ride on the "OMG Barack is gonna lose b/c of 2 days worth of bad press" train. I am not, IMO, overly concerned nor overreacting, as I am simply addressing thoughts that I have calmly and rationally mulled over during the past 24 hours both alone and with friends and family. So, in essence, I am posting this diary to share my own conflicting feelings and to see if anyone in this community shares my sentiments.

Is it time for Barack Obama to end this Wright fiasco once and for all, should he just let it ride until the news cycle burns out, and if so does he have the time and/or luxury to do so?

I haven’t seen this posted yet, if someone already has let me know and I’ll delete. The Wall Street Journal has finally printed the words that we have known were true for quite some time, Barack Obama is the Democratic Nominee. More after the jump.

I have already posted a diary explaining the difficulties that we faced during the election today. My county has not reported any voting results yet, so it may help Obama's numbers slightly when they do, but I'm not overly optimistic. My precinct just tallied its votes, Obama 76%, Clinton 24%. But guess what? It could've been much better. And right now, I'm thoroughly pissed. More after the jump

I only have a minute to spare, so this diary is going to be relatively short. I am hoping that this incident is isolated, but if it isn’t it may be a major problem for the Obama campaign.

I'm relatively new to KOZ and this is my first diary, so please be gentle.
