For those of you like me who can’t be bothered to watch the network morning new shows, here’s a link to a Good Morning America report which airs the Reverend Wright ad that John McCain refused to run:

Would this ad have changed things? We’ll never know.
For my money the right man won (no pun intended) and I think he likely would have even if this ad had run.
Hillary Clinton, in retrospect, did Barack Obama a huge favor by bringing up Reverend Wright in the primaries. If McCain had gone with this ad, it would have just been old news and another expected move coming from the GOP. I don’t think it would have turned the tide.
Still, I give John McCain props for (as the kids used to say) not going there.
