Time To Find Another Smear

Trying to hold one of his church’s preachers against him hasn’t exactly been the Smear of Doom against Obama:

But her opponent saw no significant change in his positive rating, down to 49 percent from 51 percent two weeks ago.
The poll was taken Monday and Tuesday, a week after Obama’s landmark speech on race in America in which he criticized his former pastor Jeremiah Wright’s comments on racism and US foreign policy, but declined to denounce him.
Democratic pollster Peter Hart called the survey of 700 voters with a 3.7 percent margin of error a “myth-buster” showing that the race row was “not the beginning of the end for the Obama campaign,” the Wall Street Journal said.
