I could have sworn I saw an article where the McCain campaign withdrew their comments but I can't find it. Nonetheless, this will prevent McCain from using Wright's comments against Obama when the election race starts. That and the fact that McCain has his own pastor problems.
I think it's McCain's pastor problems that will prevent him from using this line of attack in the general unless really pressed against the wall. At the moment, he has the room to be magnanimous. I mean, Hillary said that Michigan "doesn't count" before the primary and now it is of paramount importance to democracy itself that it and Florida should count. There is an element of necessity to what matters versus what one said.
Dear, you are supposed to be confused. I read a great book once upon a time, "American Political Bosses and Machines" by Fred Cook. Mr. Cook went and interviewed the great political bosses of his time, the book being published in 1973. He interviewed Mayor Daley of Chicago, reviewed the Tom Pendergast machine in Missouri and the Tammany Hall ring of Boss Tweed, and ended up interviewing Frank Hague in New Jersey. He got to town to interview Hague, always an available and affable crook, and read the newspapers before interviewing him. He was floored by what he read. When interviewing Hague, he said that he had read the papers and that there were eight to ten major scandals going on, each of which would bring down any other political machine. Hague replied, "That's the idea. The voters despair of doing anything about it. It's too big for them to deal with in their heads and they go away and don't bother you." Sort of like the Bush administration. Sort of like...

I respect that he didn't use Wright as fodder.
