Sen Obama should drop out of the race. Having just seen the new attack ad that the GOP is showing in NC -- condemning the state's Democratic leadership for backing Obama, replete with Rev Wright cursing America -- it is clear that Senator Obama is detrimental to the Democratic brand nationwide. As Jerome Armstrong wrote nearly one month ago, "That's fall-out from Wright, not against just Obama, but also Clinton, and most likely against the Democratic Party in general. It's branding of Democrats Obama, and Clinton, as anti-American."

Obama earned his lead early on, prior to being vetted. After he lost Texas and Ohio, the Wright videos appeared, shocking the nation. Slowly, information about his relationship to Rezko, and his affiliation with William Ayers have also entered the mainstream.

Since George Stephanopoulos requests, over at PERRspectives Blog, Jon Perr has come up with a list of ten questions for Stephanopoulos to ask McCain this Sunday:

4. Given your past adultery, should Americans consider you a moral exemplar of family values?
You are the nominee of a Republican Party which claims to support so-called "family values." Yet you commenced an adulterous relationship with your current wife Cindy months before the dissolution of your previous marriage to your first wife Carol. Should Americans consider you to be a moral exemplar of family values?

How times have changed MyDD.  Most of us can recall the relentless attack machine deployed against the Clintons in 1992.  It was scandal after scandal.  But as proven then and it will be proven again, sometimes the American people are ready for change.  

Now the Clinton's are deploying the same politics of distraction as was put against them.  Barack is correct, Hillary Clinton learned the wrong lesson from the Republican attack machine.  If she learned the wrong lesson from the 1990s, I'm certainly leery if she learned the right lesson about her Iraq War vote.

I wrote this for today's Beyond Chron.

The Washington Post this weekend reported an off-the-record meeting that President Bush had at the White House with various pundits, where he predicted that Hillary Clinton will be the next President.  Bush is shaping his legacy, said the Post, and is planning to make it feasible for his successor to keep us in Iraq.  It's a sharp contrast with Hillary's support among Democratic voters, who think she's more likely to get us out of Iraq and are more likely to view her as "liberal" than John Edwards or Barack Obama.  But if you parse Hillary's statements, she has left enough wiggle room for a Clinton Administration to stay in Iraq for a while.  It is easy to dismiss Bush's talk as delusional, but in recent years Hillary's husband has developed a close personal friendship with the elder President George Bush as if 1992 never happened - suggesting a stronger tie between the two political families than one might imagine.
