AP - Black and white voters in next week's primary states agreed on one thing Wednesday: Barack Obama's preacher had hurt the Democratic presidential candidate at a crucial time. The question was how much.

It's wrong for Reverend Wright, to use his notoriety and position as Barrack Obama's Pastor to parlay that position and relationship into a million dollar book deal which if you haven't heard , He shamelessly plugged his forthcoming book both at the NAACP Freedom Fund Dinner  …

Pew - A relatively large minority of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents (40%) say they have come to feel more favorably toward GOP presidential nominee John McCain in recent days; in a new Pew survey, among all Americans, about as many say that their opinion of John McCain had grown more favorable as say it has recently become less favorable (18% vs. 15%). By contrast, Americans reporting more unfavorable views of both Democratic contenders, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, outnumber those reporting more favorable views in the survey. As is the case with Obama and Clinton, most Americans (61%) said their opinion of McCain had not changed recently.

Reuters - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's loss in the Pennsylvania primary and the political firestorm over his former pastor have cut into his lead over rival Hillary Clinton among Democratic voters, according to polls released on Wednesday.

Bloomington residents and Indiana University students, staff, and faculty flooded the IU Assembly Hall tonight to listen to Barack speak about the "fierce urgency of now."

After being introduced by Indiana Congressman Baron Hill, Barack told the 12,000 plus guests:

The average Hoosier has seen an 8% decline in wages. Less money is coming in at the same time that the cost of everything is going up. The cost of milk is going up, the cost of healthcare is going up, the cost of gas is going sky-high. There are families that are making decisions about buying food or paying rent. These are serious problems that need serious answers.

We can't afford to wait. We cannot wait to fix our schools, to fix our health system, to end global warming, to bring the war in a Iraq to a close -- we cannot wait.

He told the crowd that through his travels across this nation, are saying that want something new, that they want a new chapter in Washington. And even more than that, they want a politician who does use political spin, but is honest with them about the issues. Barack reminded everyone that this election is about them, and every vote matters.

Cathy from Bloomington brought her daughter Lena to see Barack speak. Both are Obama supporters and are excited to vote on Tuesday. Cathy said:

He is an honest and truthful candidate. And I believe that he can repair the damage that has been made internationally because of his international background. I believe in hope and change. And I want to leave this place a better place for the next generation.
