Well, it's not really a huge sacrifice for him when you think about it. When he returns to Chicago after losing in November, he can join Pfleger's church and be among friends.

Day late, dollar short, it'll hang around his neck like an albatross. Good going, slick!

FWIW, "hate" goes both ways, y'all.

The Associated Press: Obama quits church after long controversy (broken link)

I think he's quitting to difuse the Michelle hating whitey video that may still come out.

IF there is a tape like that I don't think that it will matter. Obama's supporters will still be his supporters. I truly believe that there is nothing that will dissuade them.

The church received over 60 death threats. I'm sure this was a hard decision for Obama and his family to make but they recognized that remaining at their church would also increase chances of esclated threats and violence. I wouldn't put it past a few zealots to do harm. You know the familiar things like burning crosses on the church lawn...

Threats and violence??? If that were the case, he would have quit months ago ... nope, Obamatrons ... he's quitting to cater to independents who don't like his "churchin'". Did he join another church already? Ooooooo ... Michelle lost big time on this one. Instead of neener neener neener, I'm going to start saying pander pander panderrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

They are irrelevant. They would support him if he came out and admitted he was an axe murderer. Nothing will sway them, and they won't tip the balance in Nov. It is the indies/mod dem/left-leaning republicans who will decide the election. And according to the polls, he is losing ground with key segments of the electorate, such as whitey women.

I sure hope you're right.
