Powell and Wright

A commenter at The New Republic wonders if McCain is not bringing up Rev. Wright because he has cut a deal with Powell -- no Wright talk in exchange for Powell not endorsing Obama. The notion that there is a deal in place is silly, but I wonder if there's not some truth to the sentiment. Perhaps McCain is staying away from Wright out of fear that not doing so would drive the former Secretary of State into endorsing Obama. Far less silly, far more reasonable.
