Ads linking the Democratic candidates to Obama and Reverend Wright are now appearing in North Carolina and the Mississippi special House runoff election (MS-1). This is a R+10 district that has the potential to swing to the Democrats. The Democratic candidate finished first ahead of the Republican candidate there and was just under 1000 votes from capturing a majority and winning outright last week. Both parties are pumping hundreds of thousands into this seat. We will see if these ads linking Obama/Wright to the Democratic house/governor's candidates will have a negative effect on these Southern races (MS-1 and LA-6 where the Democrat has a very good chance).
People were arguing that Clinton was going to be poison on the downballot races but it could be that the Obama/Wright mess could be a bigger deal breaker.
The AP poll out today show Clinton ahead of McCain by 9 nationally while Obama leads by 2.
