This Has Just Started
I appreciate the senator's expansion on his relationship w/ this church and it's pastor. Tough deal. He'll have to disassociate himself from his pastor's radical message to survive. He'll have to disassociate himself from his pastor. His political base may feel abandoned by Obama. It'll even call to question his fitness in Illinois' next senatorial election.
How can it not? It's now in everybody's face. It can't be conveniently ignored any longer by white democrats. It can and will be rationalized. I suspect, though, that the fallout will split his support even more internally.
This won't be the end of it, by far. He's on record now. Those comments will be investigated for veracity. The story will be a ball n' chain on his campaign.
If you sleep with dogs you'll wake up with fleas.
