whoever said WaPo would be the source of any October Surprise vs Kerry, are you kidding me, they just endorsed Kerry for President
the only way they would report anything if it was too big to sit on and they wanted to outscoop another paper
they'll be the source of any October surprise vs Bush
Washington Times is much more likely to be the source. Several blogs saying it's the Times, although the original Powerline article does not say which paper, only that it is a "major" paper.
