Hopefully the mounting pressure to release the tape, and the refusal to do so by the LA Times will cause people to really wonder what on earth is being kept from them. This could bring about the same result as actually hearing the tape.

That's what's commonly called a "win-win" situation.

It may actually be better if the tape isn't released (though I would DEARLY love to hear it or see a transcript) - because this is putting the stake into the (black) heart of the press & media. Hannity has said it, 2008's election has marked the death of the media - not releasing that tape will clinch it.

BTW, I hope that the LA Slimes loses at least 100,000 subscribers - I wish I subscribed, just so I could cancel.

You know the other day I was thinking about how boycotts of the advertisers work. It doesn’t seem they do much good really. I was wondering if we SENT BACK any products to the advertisers in the L.A. times if that would send a stronger message. I mean, say send back the shoes to PayLess corporate (just as an example, don’t know if PayLess is an advertiser in the times). If we picked one advertiser every day, we could all send back the items we have. Maybe if they get hundreds of packages of returned goods with notes saying no further such goods will enter our households, they might feel a bit more of the impact. Any thoughts on this idea? Of course, for fun, we could all demand refunds at the same time!

Right on - actually, it’s a win-win-win.

McCain can do serious damage if tape is played.
McCain can do just as much damage if tape is NOT played.
