While waiting for dinner cooked by my gourmet chef of a husband (I'm still learning), found this from the NY Times' stellar reporters, flagged by Jim Geraghty, NRO's Campaign Spot. The Times headline "Minister's Comments Hold Little Sway in Indianapolis Enclave":

In the cafes, gift stores and the gourmet dog biscuit shop in this city’s neighborhood of Broad Ripple Village, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr.’s name draws all sorts of responses — sighs, rolling eyes, laughter, grim silence.

But many people, like Clyde H. Crockett, a retired law professor who was sipping a drink in a coffee shop here on Thursday, said his thoughts about Mr. Wright would have no bearing on his decision — still unfinished — about whom to vote for in Indiana’s Democratic primary on Tuesday.

“Why should it?” Mr. Crockett said. “No one should be tainted because of Reverend Wright.”[snip]

Supporters of both Democratic candidates said that they did not think the Wright episode should change the race but said, again and again, that they feared it might in other, less cosmopolitan areas of Indiana where they thought people might be searching for some acceptable explanation for not voting for a black candidate.

My dog gets milkbones, beggin' strips and if she's lucky, scraps from dinner. A few anthropoligical notes for the Times.

Obama's appeal to working class whites is faltering. Too bad those gourmand dogs can't vote, to up Barack's numbers. Unlike Illinois, Indiana has photo ID.
