I have already expressed my opinions repeatedly over at troll central. As I stated there, I think in the situation presented, the runner should be protected to third. If she pulls up, or hesitates in any manner at second, then she attempts to advance at her own risk. However, in a case where she goes full tilt boogie all the way, then she deserves the protection as the obstruction cost her the last step or two that she was out by.

I tend to agree with TexBlue's assessment that the defense should never benefit from obstruction.
