1. The attacks between the Clinton and Obama campaigns are so viscous that they could be benefiting the republicans. McCain is receiving the support from angles which the democrat candidates are attacking each other.
This focuses on the long run of the presidential race and how a political party may bring itself down through its divisions.
2. America's views of Republicans "owning Washington" may keep McCain from the presidency given the recent hardships faced by the country under a Republican leader.
This demonstrates how the mood of a country could be a determining factor in who is picked to lead it. Since America is going through rough times, the people may seek to change which party has control of the government.
3. McCain reverses himself on mortgage issue. After saying that the federal government should not have to pay for mortgages that cannot be paid. Know he feels that families should get federal help before foreclosure.
This demonstrates how candidates could change their mind on issues which might be a practice which will be prevalent in their presidency.
4. The latest attack from Clinton to Obama calling him elitist and out of touch come just two weeks before the Pennsylvania presidential primary, the biggest contest remaining on the Democratic calendar.
This shows how candidates fight viciously for Pennsylvania, which could decide who is nominated.
5. Obama predicts that he will suffer fallout from the Rev. Wright controversy in the future. However, studies show the youngest generation is more accepting of race that the older ones. Obama may choose to appeal to them acknowledging the problem of racism in politics and move beyond it.
This shows that old issues may return to the presidential race in the fall. If Obama is nominated, racism will definitely be an issue he would face.

The most unfortunate thing about these atacks is that they are usualy about compleatly irrelivent subjects like Clinton's snipper attempt story, or weather Obama puts his hand over his heart during the national anthem.
Who Cares!

Some times it can be hard to seperate a nominee from their parties history.
Comment for 3.
it's also important to consider that he is just now making this decission when he is the odd man out seeing as how both Clinton and Obama support bills to help individuals stay in their homes.

Isn't it interesting that specific examples were never brought up to back that claim.

When it comes to Obama talking about the effects of race in politics, if he is going to address the subject he should be direct and let people know that he will only talk about that one time. That way people know he is not afraid to talk about the issue, but he will also not let it influence his presidency.
