Actually, if McCain responded in real-time, he’d leave himself open to the charge of having planted the story (whether he did or not). Dinnertime is news time - that means McCain made the primary news hour of he day.
I don’t have any issue with the timing of McCain’s response.
Good point. Besides the potato’s in Obama’s hands.You gotta see what they do with it before going on record. I don’t see a reason to rush here. Enjoy the show, that’s what I say.
