That still seems to be the policy. Palin mentioned it in an interview with Kristol that's in the NY Times today. She said:

"To tell you the truth, Bill, I don't know why that association isn't discussed more, because those were appalling things that that pastor had said about our great country, and to have sat in the pews for 20 years and listened to that — with, I don't know, a sense of condoning it, I guess, because he didn't get up and leave — to me, that does say something about character. But, you know, I guess that would be a John McCain call on whether he wants to bring that up."

It sounds to me like they're pressuring McCain to let them start bringing it back up, and in my opinion he should let them. It's one of the more inflammatory relationships which Obama had to describe someone who by most standards is pretty out there as his spiritual adviser.

And it's pretty standard for conservative evangelicals to talk about how God isn't going to be happy about the moral decay of our country. Most Americans know that, but very few have had a pastor who yelled conspiracy theories and used the phrase "God damn America!" and if they're going to try to paint Obama as having a history of associating himself with radicals that's one of the associations they can pretty easily use to make their point.

well if he wanted to 'expose the truth', then why didn't he run with it then?

Oh yeah cuz he thought that Hillary would do his dirty work so he wouldn't have to and the Repubs would have looked 'cleaner' for not getting too far involved...so now guess what...that attempt failed then and now John has to choose to whether or not he wants to get his hands dirty.

...but he can't CrackerBarrel! It was McCain who said that that the Reverend Wright-Obama relationship has no place in politics. Will John go back on his word? It wouldn't surprise me if he did.

Seriously! I've never been polled, and I don't know anyone who has!

I am waiting for some idiot at a McCain/Palin rally to say Obama is the Anti-Christ! That would just be icing on the cake! lol.
