Your one-paragraph list of "sins" you feel Sen. Obama has committed is not worth publication. I truly believe your editor should have stopped this from being posted.

I believe that given the time and resources that you have at hand I could consistently write better, more interesting and more balanced columns than you. I've read a few and been appalled not only at their lack of balance, but at your lack of patience or time to investigate issues more fully.

Please make the debate more interesting, Ms. Erbe. Don't be a follower and publish "pile-on" style journalistic pieces.

We, your reading public, deserve better than this.

To all of those that would rather have Mccain win instead of Hillary, well you will get your wish come November. Mccain will beat Obama (Wright). How can he(Mccain) not use Rev Wright against Him (Obama). Sure Mccain is saying all the right things now but when the mud starts to fly close your eyes. How can Obama denounce the reverend now, he sat through sermon after sermon by this man and waits until it hurts his political career to say something. Me thinks he doth protest too much.

In selecting a candidate for becoming the head of the United States it does not come as a chance or hazard but it is happened by good sens. America, be proud for what you are, after God you are the top leader in the world. I am sure no one wants to see our beautiful country going down hill.

Every can be good, but there is a best one for the next actual president; Obama.

For my experience anytime someone tries to blemish someone he makes him more popular. So, Rev Wright raises up Senator Obama by making every body focus on him. America likes all the smart person. For this crisis the choice is good. America you know what you are looking for. Obama for 08. Hillary is good but not the best

OMG--Obamanites are feeling betrayed, aren't you? If you're answering 'no' then it's because you're choosing not to read the writing on the wall. Your messiah has being exposed, we now know what's behind the curtain. The republican smear machine is going to have a field day with this guy. He has no chance, but the woman-haters and blacks who can't forgive will stay home, and McCain's a sure thing. Only in America!

I wouldn't have known USN&WR was still published unless I saw a link to this ridiculous story elsewhere. Nice analysis of the issue! What a joke, no wonder more informative blogs are putting the 'experts' out of business. I think it's finally time for USN&WR to drop out of the publication race if this is what will pass for political coverage...

I simply can not reconcile the whole Wright fiasco.

Stick a fork in him, he's done.

HRC's old timey smear campaign politics can't win against Obama, so her surrogates (including Ms. Erb) have decided to run against a retired Chicago preacher who they get to paint as a caricature of a scary, black bogey man. I guess what giving away highway repair funds isn't buying enough votes, anything goes. I guess they haven't figured out that the public is a little smarter than that.
