Wright was the acid test, and if he survived something like that, there's not much else that could derail him. That said, I don't buy Dowd's argument. Yes, it's making the Dems more visible. It's also ripping the activist base asunder. It's going to be very, very difficult for the Obama and Hillary supporters to reconcile.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('14403','Demosthenes'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('14403','Demosthenes','Obama\'s probably got it locked up.
