Am I the only one who thinks it could be ... Rudy?
Just a pure guess, but that guy has enough baggage to fill a sinkhole.

I say Edwards and that means they were scooped by the Enquirer. The article says it is NOT.

...the paper couldnt decide the complex ethics of whether and when to run it
IOW, depending on whether the candidate is a Republican/Democrat when can it do the Most/Least damage.

if you look close enough you can find hints of something impending, something potentially derailing to this candidate in the reporting of the campaign. Which could mean that something unspoken, unwritten about is influencing what is written, what we read. What hints have we seen?
Hillary's coverage hasn't been quite as fawning, but I don't know if that's a hint.

Since he ruled out Edwards- it has to be Obama, Hillary, Mitt, Fred or Rudy.
Interesting- sooner or later it’s going to get out.

“A” should return the overpayment to the client. Or is this a trick question?

I agree Kalee. If its a repub they are going to sit on it, wait for the worst moment for that candidate to release it, and then fall back on the ol’ “ethics” line as their reasoning for sitting on it. They really do think they are smarter than most people. To them, Freepers and Rush fans are just dumb hicks with shotguns and bibles.
To: Eagles6
There is only one answer to this. First premise, modern journalism knows no standards or ethics. What fits the desired template gets reported, whether true or not. What goes against the desired template gets spiked, regardless.
For this reason, we know they aren’t talking about a republican. Therefore, my guess is Hillary or Obama, whom the press wants protected.
Simple.

the point I wanted to make is that when you read elite DC political reporters writing about the campaign it may well be that they're writing from a perspective affected by something they're not telling you about. Who are the "elite" DC reporters?

Bingo. It can’t possibly be a republican or it would already be on the front page everywhere.

That is true. Could it be Rudy? A gay relationship? Hope not.

But the person who told me said it offhandedly as if everyone in his world knew about it. And if you look close enough you can find hints of something impending, something potentially derailing to this candidate in the reporting of the campaign. Which could mean that something unspoken, unwritten about is influencing what is written, what we read. Here's the clue in this piece.
I can't figure it out, but the journalist given us a clue...so who is being reported about with a "hint" of something impending?

3) A documented verifiable homosexual relationship on Obama's part . That's good for a 20 point bump in the polls if you're a dim.

this rumor ... is one I never heard in this specific form before Interesting turn of phrase, indeed. Makes me think this involves Hillary, who's been dogged by rumors for years, but nothing specific.

The term was "leading" Presidential candidate.
I don't think Bill qualifies.

It can’t be Obama. Joe Biden has vouched that Obama is , “..articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. “

If the MSM’s debating it - it’s dem — they protect their own... Or it’s a Republican they don’t want to “fall” yet... bias makes ‘em soooooooo predictable.
