Perfect Timing

Just had a thought, prompted by the fact that on top of all the Wright shit-storm the Obama campaign also chose this week to do their full Rezko disgorge that actually this is a pretty perfect time for them to get all this stuff out and dealt with. They still have five weeks till the next primary. They’re not yet the nominee and facing McCain so there’s still a lot of non-political junkies paying attention. And as a WSJ reporter said to me the other night “The longest anything lasts in this campaign is three news cycles.” Pretty true.
