I think the press anointing Obama and covering up, whitewashing, shoo shooing serious gaffes and issues about and from him allowed him to win, however.... the GOP will capitalize.
pan....so this is your latest conspiracy theory of the month? First it was the Republican leadership keeping the nomination away from McCain...then it was the Clintons planned the Wright incident as part of their strategy to steal the campaign away from the populist Obama....and now its Operation Chaos really being about scaring Democrats into voting for Obama so they can run against him...LOL.

Yep....the GOP sure capitalized on Obama in those 3 recent special elections for open seats in very Republican districts in IL, LA, MS!

Seats that Republicans won by around 70% over the last 8-10 election cycles.

The Republican candidates (and the NRCC) ran ads trying to tie the Democratic candidates to Obama and Wright.....

... and the Democratic candidates won these seats for the first time in more than 15 years.

Go figure.

Tom Davis, Republican Congressman from Virginia, has it right when he said:
"Republican members of Congress understand that the Republican brand is in the trash can....if we were a dog food, they would take us off the shelf."
Keep ignoring him, guys!
