Big news from the McCain camp coming in the next couple of hours

[Winnscott]

I have no idea what this dramatic Politico headline means, but seems important:
http://www.politico.com/blogs/jonathanmartin/1008/McCain_camp_making_news_in_the_morning.html

My guess: McCain endorses Obama.

[liberal N proud]

1. Just another fucking stunt by the McCain assholes

They don't have any substance so they just resort to stunts and attacks.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

2. Probably an announcement...

That Sam's Club is now the official supplier of Depends to Pops' campaign. ;-)

[Hubert Flottz]

5. The Dumplin' Dave Vitter model Depends I expect!

Maybe the BobbleFoot will come out of the stall for McCrash too.

[barbtries]

3. he's going to reveal

how he'll win the wars.

palin's stepping down.

palin and mccain are switching and she's running for supreme ruler of all nations

why the suspense? bastards.

[SammyWinstonJack]

29. Palin and mccain are switching and she's running for supreme ruler of all nations.

Probably. x(

[codjh9]

42. You betcha!

[lamp_shade]

4. Just saw a post that they're releasing "Ayers" ad today.

[Democat]

6. Obama needs to release a real attack on McCain soon!

McCain is dominating the news with Ayers, a lot like the Swiftboat vets did. Instead of playing defense, and keeping that issue in the news day after day, Obama needs to pick an attack on McCain, and the Keating 5 is not that attacks, and smash him with it.

If Obama makes an issue, like McCain supporting a group made up of Nazis, then the media will have to split their smear coverage between two issues. Instead, Obama is allowing all smear coverage to focus on Ayers.

Obama needs to go on the offense and get off defense. It's time to fight fire with fire, not to try to throw water on fire.

[TexasObserver]

7. McCain will announce he's suspending his campaign to find the Loch Ness Monster.

AND Amelia Earhart.

[Hubert Flottz]

11. McCain plans to reveal that...

He's really Elvis!

[rfranklin]

8. McCain steps down, Palin tops the ticket!

Due to health problems Senator McCain withdraws. The Republican party promotes the punchline to 30 years of incompetence and malfeasance.

[dysfunctional press]

9. palin is headed back to alaska for family reasons...

joe lieberman will be her replacement on the new unity ticket.

[TexasObserver]

14. If McCain dumps Palin for Lieberman, he'll have to go to Luby's at 5:30 to draw a crowd

Which is where many of voters like to go between 5-6, anyway.

[onenote]

24. wanna bet on that one?

Zero chance of that

[Waiting For Everyman]

10. Some lame Corsi stuff, I'll bet.

That garbage rocks their world.

[melody]

12. Heh, just wait till they see what Obama has in store for them. Heh. :) n/t

[Democat]

18. I hope Obama has his own October Surprise to slam McCain!

Let's hope for some Obama offense, not defense for the rest of the month!

[Epiphany4z]

13. something to take the sting out of Fridays

report re: Troopergate?

[Sherman A1]

15. It's another attempt to grab a headline and

hang on to the news cycle for a bit. He can see the handwriting on the wall and this is just like the last bunch of their antics.

[gollygee]

16. Palin's out?

she was a really bad choice and he must recognize that by now.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

32. Palin out and offered the job as head of Homeland Security 'cause she's great at

watching for Putin to rear his head?

[jpertello]

17. maybe this is the "big news"...

[gollygee]

19. Do the rest of us get our mortgages reduced too?

I wouldn't mind a 5% mortgage, but we've never been late paying.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

35. Haven't we theoretically bought up all the bad mortgages? I believe there is

that ability in the bill to do that already.

[susanbanks44]

20. Who cares.

[DeadManInc]

21. Palin going to own up to screwing her husbands

business partner?

[Vinca]

22. Did the Metamucil work?

:rofl:

[Catshrink]

23. Gimmick of the week?

It's becoming gimmick of the day now. Can't wait to see what this is all about.

[McCCain4retirment]

25. hmm..

Probably just some hilarious stunt again they'll try to pull off..like McCain suspending his campaign until he finds Bin Laden, and then deciding to come back for the debate next Wednesday anyways

27. Is this it??? McCain launches Ayers ad

*yawn*

[MetaTrope]

28. Somebody should really dig up the photos of McCain handing out awards to Taliban commanders

[scheming daemons]

30. Welcome to DU

:hi:

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

31. Let's see... They discovered that Obama fathered 2 black children and that Michelle

has an addiction to shopping?

As to Michelle's addiction..must be as she dresses far better than Cindy for a mere fraction of Cindy's budget. You have to shop an awful lot to do that. Don't you?

[Montauk6]

33. They're going to tie Obama to the Kennedy Assassination

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

34. OK.seriously. The report on Palin is due out tomorrow and it's going to say she

abused her power and will have to step down to fight charges in Alaska.

Her trying to manipulate the worker's compensation case is Very Serious.

[UTUSN]

36. If only, if only!1 n/t

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

41. A woman can dream, can't she???

[Horse with no Name]

37. Well my pound of salt intact

since it is politico and they are nothing but a tool.
My guess is that Palin will be stepping down and they will pick a rapid republican to take her place on the ticket.
My guess is Gingrich.
It is actually a brilliant move because democrats have pinned so much on being able to bash Palin and many will see it that she was run out off of the ticket by the mean old Democrats. I predict a sympathy bump for McCain of 10%...+/- 2.

Edited to add this prediction (like so many at politico) was pulled straight from ass to the typewriter.

[road2000]

38. It's something they think will bring them up, big time.

They wouldn't smugly and coyly announce "something's coming" ahead of time if it were a negative like Troopergate. It's either the Obama Smear of All Time (in which case he's probably prepared), or the Great Policy Issue of All Time -- a retread which they hope to flog like hell. Maybe we're all getting 40 acres and a mule.

[LeftHander]

39. McCain would actually benefit by dumping Palin...

Choosing her was a major screw up and cost him the election.

Now he really needs to save himself and his political career by dumping her.

This will pretty lock int he White House for Obama but he will retain credibility.

?

Thoughts?

[Rockholm]

40. Maybe something to do with no-show Todd from yesterday?
