Break-ups on the campaign trail

A fairly extraordinary moment on live TV today, as Barack Obama gives a rare press conference to denounce his former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. The man who has struggled for months to give a nuanced explanation of his relationship with Wright has now distanced himself completely. And Obama sounded legitimately angry -- in his muted way -- about Wright's recent, incendiary TV tour.

Over on MSNBC, Chris Matthews is predicting that we'll hear a rebuttal from Wright. "He will keep fighting this," Matthews says. Stay tuned. In other campaign-TV news, Hillary Clinton will make her first-ever appearance on Fox News's "The O'Reilly Factor." The two-part interview will air on Wednesday and Thursday on 8 p.m.
