I think this will affect Obama's numbers but only temporarily.
There is another thread just started by Mr. P giving a piece written by Dick Morris that says that this will not hurt Obama. I agree with that. Obama's numbers have dropped, but they will bounce back up when the nomination is complete. The Democrats will rally behind him, moderates will chose him over McCain and possibly even many Republicans will vote for Obama because they can't stand John McCain. I won't vote for John McCain even if Barack Obama came out and said to me specifically that he would tax 100% of my income for the rest of my life, but then, I suppose, I would simply leave the country just to survive.
I think it is very possible that unless something dastardly comes out about Barack Obama before November, America will see its first black President.
