After Wright Week

By The Daily Dish

Richelieu accesses the damage:

Obama was sloppy about it and late, but he now has the right political answer to Wright: I'm finished with him. And while GOP hearts were undoubtedly warmed by the whole fiasco, the odds are that Rev. Wright is now an issue in decline; some damage done but little chance he'll be the big factor in October among swing voters who will decide the election.

Obamalibs and Obamacons need to take a deep breath and realize that the most collateral damage is now. And the good news is: unless Wright decides to become an even bigger asshole, the worst is over. And Clinton still can't win.
