I think McCain (a cagey old codger who seems to have a mind as quick as a steel trap) has intentionally pulled a “November surprise” with Obama’s “bankrupt-the-coal-companies” tape. You know his campaign had to have had the tape all the time. I just hope he did not wait too long. If it works, it will become the most famous “rope-a-dope” strategy in the history of American politics.
I am sorry, McCain/Palin didn’t have the tape all the time. They didn’t have it until it was sent to them today. FReepers saw it this morning on a news outlet and sent it everywhere, including Drudge BTW, and it started getting out there. Sarah picked it up and ran with it. SF chronicle has kept this tape under wraps since Jan, failing to report the “bankrupt coal” statements because they knew it would hurt their frickin’ communist candidate. I can’t remember the news outlets name that ran it first this morning and I don’t know how they got it, but I am glad they did.
