I actually think the Democrats caught a break here. They were on a scorched earth path heading to the convention, but this gives them a way out. Go ahead and put a fork in Obama.
I expect the msm to cry a river over this one, but they're too nearsighted to realize Hillary was the stronger candidate of the two anyway. Obama would've been eaten alive.
More good points made here and here.
UPDATE: David Bernstein adds the following strong analysis over at the VC:
when you're left with the choice of either acknowledging that you had sincere close, personal, and political ties with a minister whose views most Americans find beyond the pale, or defending yourself by using the "hey, I'm just a cynical politician who uses religion to get votes just like anything else, and I don't believe in it any more than I really believe that NAFTA is bad" excuse, I think you may be in for some trouble.
