I have a feeling it's going to be along the lines of what Jeremiah Wright has said, if it's true at all. Jeremiah Wright may say things in a way that is unsettling to some people, but I have yet to read anything he's said that it outright slanderous. Everything I've read has been truthful. The most inflammatory things he's said have been quotes from other people that he used in his own speeches/sermons.

Regardless, it may be enough.
Hopefully, anyway.

I'm not sure "truthful" is correct - Reverend Wright, like many great inflammatory orators (white, black and otherwise), has a wonderful tendency of taking a kernel of fact and twisting it into a thesis that doesn't fit the context of the original fact.
For example - conflating support for "terrorism" in the Middle East through supporting Israel with both WWII (atomic bombs) and black South Africans in the famous "chickens coming home to roost" speech. It's brilliant oration, but intellectually disingenuous.
Regardless, things like the "United States of KKK America" coming from the mouth of the future First Lady would likely represent a total disaster for the Obama camp - you'd lose on both fronts, to both the intellectual moderate who sees through the propaganda and the common idiot undecided who is simply scared. Obama likely needs a big turnout to win, and that sort of video could well kill voter turnout.

Let us all wait and see IF anything ever does show up.
I have heard stories/comments of "Senior Members/Party Leaders/Party Sources" et al for over twenty years and Nothing ever showed up out of most of them.
Just enough is said to make people think that they heard or saw something.
This is just another way to spread mis-statements or falsehoods by way of rumors and innuendos.

If this is true, then I would be disappointed, but not surprised.

I don't think anybody is verifying anything, we're just disclosing what we've heard.
Also, this is politics, I really don't care whether this rumor gets spread.
