Answer 10

Obama '08

Why? Because he is MUCH better than the same old bush tactics...

Answer 11

So much for Kwame getting a cabinet post with the 'great' Obama

McCain in 08  

Answer 12

Its unlikely to affect it at all. And here's why:

First, Kilpatrick is a Michigan issue only. While Obama might lose some support there, he has also distanced himself from Kwame for quite some time. That included a call for the Detroit mayor to step down due to his legal issues.

Second, what the 527's are attempting to do is use the Rev. Wright link to Kwame to keep that albatross around Obama's neck. That ship has sailed.

Kwame's issue will affect Obama no more than Ted Stevens will affect McCain-Palin. Most folks just don't pay that close of attention for it to matter, and in this case, that's probably a good thing. Michigan is still polling pretty well for Obama (2-7 pts), but to be fair there is nothing post convention or Kwame as of yet.

If you want the positive spin, Kwame stepping down could help Obama's numbers in Michigan as it will remove a distraction from the equation and let Obama focus on his message instead of corruption issues with a supporter.
