There's been a fair bit of speculation about whether or not Jeremiah Wright's appearance at the National Press Club was a dirty trick by the Clinton campaign.
It wasn't. If you want to explore the details, Michael Calderone has them.
Clinton has done thing to fan the flames of the story, but those things have been awkward and obvious, and have probably hurt her at least as much as Obama. I guess the basic thing to remember is that there hasn't been much subtle about the Clinton campaign, and when she's attacked it's been with a sledgehammer. If she had been behind this gambit, it would have been atypically subtle for her.
