Disturbing GOP Vid Targets Obama on Wright
By Laluchasigue on April 23, 2008 at 1:51 PM in Barack Obama, North Carolina, Republicans, Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr.
The PA primary demonstrates that the Jeremiah Wright controversy badly hurt Obama. Contrary to the finger wagging New York Times editorial, “The Low Road to Victory,” blaming Hillary for daring to wage a winning campaign in Pennsylvania, Obama was undercut mainly by his own severe problems, especially his 20 year relationship with Wright.
We now know that Obama’s Philadelphia speech on race in which he refused to disown Wright was not as the media touted a fabulous success but instead a crashing disaster. Obama’s Wright relationship has permanently alienated white working class voters, Catholics and Jews, among others. And the Republicans know it and are preparing for it.
A new 30 second video produced by a shadowy Republican group, which only contains factual footage, no commentary at all, is headed like a torpedo toward the Democratic Party is it nominates Obama. Every superdelegate should watch this video and explain why they would want every Democrat to bear this burden.
Meanwhile, down in the Tarheel state, NBC/National Journal’s Carrie Dann reports: “The North Carolina Republican Party will unveil a 30-second ad [Wednesday] that attacks Democratic gubernatorial candidates Beverly Perdue and Richard Moore for endorsing Barack Obama. The ad, per the party, will reference `controversial figures from Barack Obama’s past’ and raise the question of the candidates’ `judgment’ in supporting him. The ad will be unveiled at an 11am press conference.”
According to Dann, “The Rev. Jeremiah Wright is expected to play a starring role.”
Because of his relationship with Wright, Obama is becoming a serious drag on down-ticket Dem candidates. Why should every Democrat have to bear the burden of Obama’s recklessness?
