I don't know. Do you really think the video will make any difference? Anyone who was likely to be put off would be put off already and anyone who wants to vote for him will excuse it. I don't really see a bunch of people who will be surprised and swayed if it turns out that Mrs. Obama has made seemingly radical, racially motivated commentary in her day.
Go back to the senior thesis. Would it really shock you to know that her commentary about race in America didn't end there?
Plus, I think it will have a short media life span in the mainstream press and only be replayed on FOX and right-wing blogs, which aren't really aimed at folks like to be Obama voters anyway.
This video if it was going to do damage would have delivered the most damage when it could have helped Clinton get the nomination. I don't think it's like to drive anyone out of the Obama camp into the arms of McCain, Barr, McKinney or anyone else who might end up on the general election ballot.
