It works that way in any election, whether it be for a Union Board, Congress or student council. It is not unconstitutional for a voter to consider who you associate, past decisions you made or another such thing.
This is part of the reason I am glad Judges to the supreme court are appointed.

I know there's a difference, but how do you define it?

Hagee endorsed. You can blame McCain for that. Just as you can't blame Obama for being endorsed by Hamas, Farahkan or the highly racist New Black Panther Party. Just as you can't blame Ron Paul for his endorsement by the KKK leader (forgot who right now).
However, if a man donates $20K to a church, sits in the audience during venomous anti-american and anti-government speech and call the man your mentor in your book then you go beyond and endorser and move towards a special relationship that can and should be scrutinized! Same with Obama's friendship with a self-proclaimed anti-american terrorist - Ayers!

Obama doesn't share Wright's view point. It's as simple as that. They are two different people. One has a different platform then the other. Why should this matter?

On won't argue with the fact that he probably doesn't share Wright's views in respect to the AIDS, America's at fault for 9/11 or hate whitey mentality. But I do think he shares the self-victimization of the black people to which we need a nanny/welfare state. His domestic policies of increasing the government, spending and taxes reflect that. That is what I care most about.
