I don't believe any of them were made stars by the media. I do believe, however, that all 3 have sought the spotlight. All politicians do, just like all pastors and priests do, all teachers do, all talking heads do, all actors and musicians do, etc.

That is a given, IMO.

But what Wright is doing is beyond the pale, and threatens to destroy the Obama campaign if he doesn't act quickly.

This could cost the primaries as early as next Tuesday.

Before news of Wright's media blitz was made public last week, Obama was already sagging in the polls because of the bounce Clinton got (as expected) coming out of PA.

No, if Obama doesn't make a major speech renouncing Wright and his divisive identity politics--which is what Obama claims he wants to transcend (but maybe only on one side of the divide?), his campaign is finished. Finished.
