I think the timing is to distract from Obama trying to play both sides on gay marriage. They were sitting on this “story”, and it’s a minor story. Who knows what they are saving.

It’s pretty clear to most people with 1/2 a brain that Obama’s “evolution” on gay marriage is just bs. We know that either 1. he always favored it and was lying before or even possibly 2. he does not in fact favor it and is lying now or maybe even more likely 3. he doesn’t really care one way or the other but as you say is just playing both sides.
But to his media cheerleaders this is the greatest thing since I don’t know what, Rosa Parks or something.
Maybe they did think there would be “pushback” on the evolution and they put this story out there to distract from that.
As to what other dirt they may have on Romney, I don’t know. They’ve already done the dog story, the swiss bank account story (although they might try again with that), the why haven’t you released every tax return you ever filed story.
I imagine we are going to hear more about Bain Capital and also Mormonism. Although they’ll have to be careful about the latter.
They could also do some “you’re just an overly rich white person” stories, but with the First Golfer and First Lady of Vacations in the WH that might not fly too well either.
What’s important about these stories is not that they come out with them, but how our side fights back.
Allen got destroyed by that Maccaca bs, why he wasn’t able to counter that effectively I don’t know.
They tried the same thing with McDonnel’s thesis, which was a much more substantive issue than Maccaca, but he was able to beat them back on that.
The MSM is the enemy though, that is for sure.
