Curt Schilling is known as a Republican booster who may harbor future political ambitions, so I was surprised that he rose to Barack Obama's defense when Schilling chatted with WEEI's Gerry Callahan this morning. (Then again, Callahan makes some conservatives seem positively liberal by comparison.)
In short, Callahan was scorning Obama over the Reverend Wright stuff. Schilling responded by saying it was past time to move on, and that there's a qualitative difference between the candidate making comments and someone he knows having done so. Callahan, of course, didn't buy it. Still, it was interesting to hear this perspective coming from a dyed-in-the-wool conservative such as Curt.
