Is the McCain campaign afraid of an 'October surprise' involving vice-presidential pick Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska?

The Alaska state senator running an investigation of Gov. Palin says the McCain campaign is using stall tactics to prevent him from releasing his final report by Oct. 31, four days before the November election.

"It's likely to be damaging to the Governor," said Senator Hollis French, a Democrat, appointed the project manager for a bi-partisan State Senate Legislative Counsel Committee investigation of claims that Palin abused her office to get the Alaska public safety commissioner, Walt Monegan, fired....

Yawn. Every MSM article I see like this only reinforces for me how utterly panicked the left is at this moment.

If Obama was a slam-dunk, they wouldn't be acting like this.

Dream on, MSM.

[Hildy]

She was basically doing her job...I can’t believe how big this is..meanwhile, today it is announced (quietly) that Joe Biden’s son and entire family is involved in a money scam...have you seen the headlines blaring???? Unbelievable. I’m distressed today. I can’t wait until she speaks. And it has to be the speech of her life.

The MSM is looking for such a late break to deep six McCain... and you can bet they will play it. The DUI revelation on the October weekend in 2000 preceding the election almost cost Bush the White House. These things do have an effect and the MSM is going to keep the powder try til the last moment.

fat chance. why am I not believing this. release your report today, how long could it take to finish it.

Did the governor of Alaska have the right and cause to fire that man, or not?

I have many time wondered how it is, out of 300 million people, that the likes of Edwards, Kerry, Obama, Paul, Kucinich, McCain, etc, etc are the only people we can get to choose from for president.

Now the reality sets in.

Who in their right mind would choose to put themselves through this meat-grinder who didn’t have a personality disorder?

It’s not just Obama supporters it is the new PUMAS called Romney supporters.

[Pistolshot]

Naw, the Dihm don't have the intelligence of pond scum to come up with any surprises in October.

Now, the Repubs on the other hand.......

[Titus-Maximus]

Did this state troop physically beat his wife?

Under federal law he is out of a job immediately.

The press is not mentioning this. Load up on it.

I don't know if it means anything, if its connected to some October Surprise, but Air-America announced they will be broadcasting live from Alaska about this time. Looks like they are going to go on full-assult mode.

[Antoninus]

It’s not just Obama supporters it is the new PUMAS called Romney supporters.

I've seen that. I can't say I'm surprised if that's the case. Mitt is just trying to do to the national GOP what he did to the Massachusetts GOP--destroy it.

Agreed, they know that Obama cannot win unless he has no opponent, thus their fervent attacks, smears, and hate.

Hey with all this family dirt business, how come nobody’s talking about Biden’s lobbyist sons and the criminal charges coming up against Hunter Biden

?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

[KevinDavis]

If true, then my support of Mitt in this primary was wrong..
