The only reason I can think of for them releasing them so soon is that there is nothing really damaging in them. Maybe along the lines of him smoking some pot with some friends. If they had something really damaging, they would release them in October.
These guys better be careful or they’ll have heart attacks.
It is "use it or lose it" time now. If Obama backers have a chance, they will find some way to suppress the tapes. The longer the delay in releasing them, the more chance the Obamunists will succeed.
It is too late for subtlety and pacing.
I think Andrew wanted the releaseto come right after the new website....to give a double-punch to the launch.
They've had these tapes for months, maybe they wanted to make sure plenty of deeply loyal Obamaites were already in control of the the delegate slates before launching, to make sure a challenge to Obama would be virtually impossible, this way, after Super Tuesday, Obama will already have enough loyal delegates to assure his renomination, since he is literally getting ALL of them so far.
