The media narrative up until now has been that Hillary Clinton is steering clear of the Reverend Wright story.
Now we know that this isnt true. A newspaper that has endorsed Hiilary Clinton, her hometown newspaper, no less than the THE New York Times has come out with this extremely devastating tid bit that is buried in their latest column that in itself is not very helpful to Ms. Clinton.
The truth is that HRC is furiously working behind the scenes to tie the "wright problem" to Obama irrevocably. She is actively convincing superdelegates that his candidacy is doomed because of Wright.
Hillary Clinton is complicit in pushing the Wright story.
How do i know?

Take a look at this:
Key lines:
Finally, Mrs. Clinton’s aides hope that disclosures about Mr. Obama’s past like the one involving Mr. Wright could give superdelegates’ pause. Mr. Devine said he thought that at least in terms of Democratic primary voters Mr. Obama had turned the furor to his advantage with his speech on race.
“Obama, confronted by an issue that was boiling, seemed to wade into it with a speech that was in many ways profound,” Mr. Devine said. “As a result, now these people who were so interested and awakened by his candidacy are back with him again. Instead of this being a setback, it becomes an opportunity.”
But the audience now is as much the Democratic superdelegates, who are especially attuned to politics and questions of electability in the fall, as it is rank-and-file voters.
Mrs. Clinton’s advisers said they had spent recent days making the case to wavering superdelegates that Mr. Obama’s association with Mr. Wright would doom their party in the general election.
That argument could be Mrs. Clinton’s last hope for winning this contest.
Clearly, the Clinton team is throwing her hail mary pass , and its Reverend Jeremiah Wright.
Whether or not she needs to mudsling in partnership with racist right wing Rush Limbaugh and Michelle Malkin mseems to make little difference.
What is all the more devastating to her candidacy is that THe NYT article clearly states that she needs not only one Hail mary , BUT THREE.
She needs to win PA convincingly, then she NEEDS to win the popular vote, and THEN she needs to have polls that are so clearly against Obama that the superdelegates deem him unelectable.
Can we say,
Not gonna happen.
