Barack Obama may posses resplendent oratorical skills, mellifluous speech, an increasingly effect campaign, other skills necessary of a political figure. However, Obama's connection to Reverend Jeremiah Wright have plagued his campaign for months. His virulent racially and politically charged sermons helped to facilitate a growing controversy.
Although Obama has explicitly alleviated all ties with his former pastor, his campaign has still been damaged, the major ramifications already incurred, by Wright and his unpatriotic statements. Perhaps this will be complicit in Hillary's return to glory? Obama's win in North Carolina begs the question, while further buttressing his success in the political arena.
On the contrary, Clinton has increasingly lost support and has been asked to remove herself from the competition, although she refused to do so. Keep one eye open, politics are just as mercurial as individuals. Enjoy.
