There are so many times in a campaign that candidates will get caught up in the moment, not have a chance to get their thoughts clear, and need time to reflect - that goes for all three, and the press can't wait to exploit when a gaff occurs.

There will be interviews regarding Sen. Obama's comments, and in reflection he will explain what the intent behind the words was, and provide a much clearer explanation of the content. He's too good an orator not to "fix" this.

Now, if we can allow this candidate the luxury of reflection, will we give it open-minded to others as well???
