Too many in the media are trying to estimate whether Senator Obama's speech was convincing enough to separate himself from his racist church and pastor. The strategic question that should be considered is did the speech do enough to convince the remaining uncommitted super delegates to vote for him if he wins the majority of delegates. If he does poorer than expected in Pennsylvania, polls continue to show him losing ground to Mrs. Clinton, super delegates might decide she has a better chance of winning the general election.

Congressman Jack Murtha, a super delegate and close associate of Speaker Pelosi who backs Obama, just decided to back Senator Clinton. So far then, regardless of what the media thinks about the speech, it has not helped Obama.

There may also be more shoes to drop for Obama, namely his Rezco problem and dirty politics in Chicago and his relationships with other black nationalists, separatists, Communists and radicals. He is really running two races, one for delegates and one for credibility.
