Sometimes... (none / 0) (#138)

Being caught in a lie, however, is not.

This could be especially bad for a candidate like Obama, whose campaign is focused on himself more than his policies. People may wonder if he's just telling them what they want to hear, rather than what he'll really do as President.  And if people begin to question whether or not they can trust what he is telling them, it's going to cut deep into his support, since much of it is based on personal connection to Obama.

Will the media play up the story, or will they let it pass by? We will probably know by Sunday morning which it's going to be. Because, if I was the Clinton campaign, this is what I would be trying to get everyone to talk about before the Tuesday elections (and the sooner the better).

The question is, who will bite?
