#1 Obama rose quickly because he associated himself with certain groups. Bill Ayers money and Wright's constituency. Both of which were great for local politics where people don't look into such things but which are toxic for a national election.

Obama should have distanced himself from both when he became a Senator and he should have waited another 8 or so years before running for President. Instead he rushed while the stink of the pigs was still fresh.

The Democrats may still vote him in over Hillary but I think the independents will reject Wright and Obama just took too long to distance himself so they will reject him as well. I think Obama may also be what it takes to get Conservatives to the polls despite McCain.
