From NBC's Domenico Montanaro
WRAL-TV tells the Raleigh News & Observer it has rejected the North Carolina Republican Party's Rev. Jeremiah Wright ad, linking Obama, Wright and, by extension, Democratic gubernatorial candidates Beverly Perdue and Richard Moore, who have endorsed Obama.

"A spokesman for another Triangle station, WTVD, said it had not been asked to air the ad but would have reservations about doing so," the News & Observer writes.

McCain and the Republican National Committee have asked the NC GOP not to air the ad.

For those people thinking the Obama is going to get swiftboated this should show you. The media is not going to let Obama get swiftboated especially on anything racial. Fair or not, that's the way its gonna be.
