PA: Ridge playing the race card
From the NY times
I assume this is just the beginning, and I am pretty sure they will go at it full speed next week.

He alluded to the controversy surrounding Mr. Obama’s former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. “He said very publicly, and embraced, as well he should, the relationship he had with the minister in his church for 20 years,’’ he said. “But when things got really heated, two or three weeks later, suddenly he changed his point of view, towards that minister that he admired so much for 20 years.’’
And he criticized Mr. Obama for talking about how bitter people cling to issues like guns and religion, which caused Mr. Obama troubles here during the primary. “I got news for you, Senator Obama,’’ he said. “Check out the Bill of Rights, because we’ve been doing that since 1789.’’
And I am sure McWar will say , we are not playing the race card...

OK, and where's the race card in all of this?

Yeah, no race card there. And Rev. Wright is going to come up and I'd much rather it sooner than later.
I still believe the last ad McCain will run will be his POW footage juxtaposed with Rev Wrights "God Damn America".

If revisiting or mentioning, Rev. Right is not playing the race card, what is?

This mention is not the race card. This is a legit issue, as Barack has plainly stated. It could become a race card issue depending on how the topic is approached.

Not the race card, Ridge is actually the perfect person to use that bittergate line in PA.
